GUIDED RUNNER TEAM CHALLENGE

Experience running in a new way.  The Guided Runner Challenge invites teams of two sighted runners to experience running in a new way.  Teams of two will pair up; one runner will be blindfolded and the other will be their guide.  Guided Runner teams will compete against other Guided Runner teams for the fastest race time!

Join us for the inagural Achilles Charlotte 5K!

Run through the beautiful tree lined streets of the Madison Park neighborhood and the amazing Little Hope Creek Greenway!
This event supports Achilles Charlotte, and will help to make running accessible to athletes of all ages and abilities.  This is a race, and a mission, you don't want to miss!
