The Blindfold Challenge is a unique opportunity to run a 5K blindfolded with the help of a sighted guide. This experience mirrors the way that blind athletes train and run, and the tools and training that blind individuals use to succeed in their everyday lives.
Blindfold Challenge teams commit to raising at least $500. Funds raised support Massachusetts organizations that provide rehabilitation, education and technology for the blind and visually impaired.
In 2013 we are honored to be part of the B.A.A. 5K, taking place on April 14th in downtown Boston. Show your solidarity and experience the thrill of the challenge. Register today or donate to one of our runners. We guarantee the Blindfold Challenge will change the way you see things.
