Para Track & Field

Para Track & Field is an adaptive sport that allows athletes with physical, visual, or neurological impairments to compete in a variety of track and field events. It is part of the Paralympic Games and follows classification systems to ensure fair competition among athletes with different disabilities. You don’t need experience to come out to play or practice! First timers welcome.

Athletes compete in events such as:
🏃‍♂️ Sprints & Distance Races – 100m, 200m, 400m, and longer distances
🚴‍♂️ Wheelchair Racing – Athletes use racing wheelchairs for high-speed track events
💪 Throws – Shot put, discus, javelin, and club throw
🦿 Jumps – Long jump and high jump, with prosthetics or other adaptive techniques
