Achilles Rundown: New Grant Program to Fund Race Opportunities

Spring Rundown

Achilles remains committed to breaking down barriers to the start line for athletes with disabilities. For many of our athletes, entry costs and logistics can be as daunting as the races themselves. Thanks to the generosity of The Cordani Family Grant Program, Achilles is pleased to provide funding for athletes and athlete-guide teams to help cover race related expenses. Learn more about the criteria for U.S. based civilians and apply before April 1. Read More.

*These grants are open to U.S. civilian athletes with disabilities. Members of the U.S. military living with a disability are invited to participate with the Achilles Freedom Team.
