A MESSAGE FROM Achilles International-Connecticut

Achilles International is a global, non-profit organization operating in 18 countries- including the US and right here in Connecticut!  We are proud to be an Official Charity of the 2024 Eversource Hartford Marathon for the 11th consecutive year!  

Achilles transforms the lives of people with disabilities through athletic programs and social connection. Since our organization's founding 40 years ago, we have empowered over 150,000 athletes of all ages and ability levels to participate in endurance events around the globe.  While our programs focus on running, our main objective has always been to bring hope, inspiration, and the joys of achievement to all.

 

As an organization, Achilles also breaks down barriers to race start lines and empowers the disability community to cross the finish line.  In workouts and races we pair athletes with disabilities and medical conditions with runners and walkers without disabilities in order to become active, set goals, and lower barriers to living a fulfilling life.  

 
Thank you to our corporate and community sponsors (Glastonbury River Runners, Sonic Endurance, Hartford Track Club, MillerKnoll Foundation, The Hartford Foundation for Public GivingOrthopedic Associates of Hartford Philanthropic Initiatives Fund, Gaylord Specialty Healthcare, Cigna Group Foundation, and U-Haul), and to all who support our mission of inclusion and diversity as we showcase the power of the human spirit on October 19th!
