Community of runners with disabilities and guide runners. Connect with us on Strava, Instagram and Twitter. ! Interested in joining?

Achilles Boston is a chapter of Achilles International. Achilles is a non-profit that partners able bodied guide runners (volunteers) with athletes with disabilities (member athletes). Membership is absolutely free to individuals 18+ and is open to all abilities. Send us a message on Facebook messenger or via email: [email protected]

Volunteers function as member athletes' eyes, ears, guide, and motivator, as necessary. We welcome athletes with a variety of disabilities including Amputations, Autism, Blind & Visually Impaired, Cancer, Cerebral Palsy, Deaf & Hard of Hearing, Disabled Veterans, Multiple Sclerosis, Para & Quadriplegia, Spina Bifida, Stroke, and Traumatic Brain Injuries. All new volunteers and member athletes are encouraged to complete the appropriate Achilles International application found online: http://www.achillesinternational.org/why-run/

An accessible membership application can be found here:

NOTE: We currently require that guides and athletes RSVP to our weekly workouts. This ensures we are all safe during the continued pandemic and makes sure we have a good ratio of athletes to guides. To be added to the email list to RSVP for a workout please email us at [email protected]

Current workout location: 276 Newbury Street on Tuesdays at 6:00pm and Saturdays at 9am
