. Autistic,hearing & sight impaired,developmentally disabled, learning disabled, mentally retarded and wheelchair athletes train & compete with mainstream athletes.
We are a non-profit Long Island, New York based organization giving athletes the chance to train & compete at all levels of mainstream competition.
Through competition our athletes can earn the respect they deserve and develop confidence and self esteem that will help them be successful in life.
Once thought of as novelty, the team's success has attracted national attention. Our athletes have attended and placed at the Marine Corp Marathon, the NY Marathon, Disney Marathon and USA Track & Field Championships.
Our team is composed of athletes from age 7 to 53.
There are never any expenses for our athletes. All race fees and expenses are covered. No one is denied the opportunity to participate, no matter the reason. If an athlete cannot afford a pair of running shoes, we make sure they have the proper footwear. We even cover travel expenses for our team and support staff!
We are going to put up for auction some really nice race shirts. 100% of the proceeds goes to the athletes, there are no administrative fees.
Look for us at 5ks,10ks,track & field events, 1/2 and full marathons!
We belong to USATF and Long Island Track & Field clubs.
thank you for visiting our ME page!
our head coach Steve always says
"forget the disability and focus on the ability"
