NYRR: Achilles Hope & Possibility (4M)

This event, which brings together athletes with disabilities and able-bodied athletes, is a celebration of running with a very special message. Cash prizes, free T-shirts for kids, medals for all finishers (four-mile race and the kids' races) and surprises make this annual event a local favorite. Kids’ races traditionally include many participants with disabilities as well.

Kids' races (ages 2–12) begin at 10:30 a.m., and all kids should line up for their race on Center Road by 10:30 a.m. The entry fee is $6 in advance and $8 on race day. Please note that parents/guardians of children ages 5 and older will not be permitted to enter the course; all parents should meet their children after their races in the reunion area and must have the claim tag located on the bottom of their bib number. No child will be released to an adult without a claim tag.
