welcome to running

Welcome to Running is overnight running and mobility training camp for adaptive athletes with a desire to begin running as a hobby or expand their current skills! This year’s camp took place October 20th through 22nd in Conroe, Texas. Welcome to Running is a zero-cost event for athletes, guides and volunteers entirely made possible by Catapult donors and camp sponsors.

Camp programming centers around amputee, visually impaired, and pushrim (racing) wheelchair runners. World-class coaches and specialists lead clinics and discussions covering all aspects of running as an adaptive athlete. Form, technique, nutrition and hydration needs, strength and conditioning, recovery, and race-day mindset. A sighted-guide clinic for new and beginning guides is held by experienced Catapult volunteers and leadership.

Margaritaville Lake Resort hosted camp, just North of Houston. Accommodations for athletes and guides were provided by Team Catapult, camp sponsors, and Margaritaville for the duration of the weekend, including: lodging, meals, and community-building activities.
