🛩️ IM ABLE Games 2026
Move. Compete. Redefine Possible.
The IM ABLE Games is a one‑of‑a‑kind, inclusive fitness experience set on the tarmac at the Reading Regional Airport / Mid‑Atlantic Air Museum. Athletes of all abilities come together to take on a full day of challenges—from endurance runs to obstacle racing and competitive eating—all in a high‑energy, aviation‑inspired environment.
Participants can choose their mission: run or roll distances of 2, 4.5, or 9 miles, take on the Kaaginator Fitness Challenge, push further with multi‑event challenges, or test their limits in the Hot Wing Hustle. Every event is designed to be accessible, challenging, and adaptable, with adaptive athletes fully integrated across the Games.
More than a race, the IM ABLE Games is a celebration of determination, community, and possibility. Whether you're competing, supporting, or spectating, you'll be part of an event where everyone has a place—and every finish line matters.
Stay after your event to enjoy the post-race party with music, food, and cold brews, plus optional recovery experiences including sauna and cold plunge.
