Achilles Chicago

Achilles Chicago Achilles tranforms the lives of athletes with disabilities. If you want to join the Chicago chapter follow the link below! See you soon!

By pairing athletes with guides we create a space of fun, inclusion and a love for running, walking or rolling! Every day, in parks, gyms, and tracks all over the world, Achilles provides athletes with disabilities with a community of support. Able-bodied volunteers and disabled runners come together to train in an environment of support and community. Within this community, runners gain measurabl

e physical strength and build confidence through their sense of accomplishment, which often transfers to other parts of their life.

Happy National Adaptive Sport Day!! We are lucky enough to see what the power of inclusion in sports can do every single week. The friendships, smiles, miles and laughs mean everything to our community. Every practice, every race, and every finish line reminds us that sport has the power to connect people in ways nothing else can.

We are so proud of our athletes, guides, and volunteers who make this mission come to life. You remind us that inclusion isn’t just important…it’s transformative! We will be having another celebration this Saturday at practice!

Today, we honor the adaptive athletes, advocates, coaches, and fellow organizations like Move United Sport building a more inclusive world through sport.

We're proud to run, walk and roll with partners across the country. Sign the pledge: https://ow.ly/bTkk50YQMs7

Practice was brought to a halt today to watch this little squirrel eat a Portillos Chicago style hot dog🌭
The squirrel then sat around and watched our athletes and guides crush it on their Saturday workout🐿️
He was team Achilles for sure🎉
