DC Running Chapter of Achilles International
Achilles International partners disabled athletes with running guides to enable all people to participate in mainstream athletics in order to promote personal achievement, enhance self esteem, and lower barriers to living a fulfilling life.

A flyer is attached if you wouldn't mind passing along.
Our new running chapter meets on Thursday evenings at 7pm in Rosslyn! Below is information about the organization and weekly runs.
Who We Are: The Achilles Track Club was founded in 1983 by Dick Traum, the first amputee to run a marathon distance. Now, an international organization, our mission is to enable people with all types of disabilities to participate in mainstream athletics in order to promote personal achievement, enhance self-esteem, and lower barriers to living a fulfilling life.

- Volunteers - For volunteers, there are many opportunities to get involved and share the spirit and joy of achievement. We are looking for energetic volunteers who enjoy running or walking, to accompany athletes with disabilities at regular workouts and races, including marathons
Why Join?
- Enjoy the outdoors
- Make new friends
- Set (and achieve) your goals
- Flexible workouts
- Join an internationally recognized group of athletes
- Group support during racing events
