Mighty Striders is a running program targeted at special-needs children in the Greater Charlotte area. Everyone is welcome regardless of ability level, and we are hoping to grow the team as much as possible.
Mighty Striders Running Club is a local non-profit organization that was specifically created to establish an environment for special-needs youth to grow as athletes, develop a passion for running, and build their confidence. We are dedicated to improving the lives of our participants, fostering a love of lifelong fitness, and helping everyone expand their limits in a safe and fun team environment.
Practice will be held at Boyce Park in Charlotte, North Carolina. For a more specific practice schedule, visit the Team Calendar.
Mighty Striders hopes to empower special-needs children through the sport of running and foster important values such as Teamwork, Inclusion, Respect, Confidence, and Persistence. Expanding quality access to sports is essential in creating an inclusive society.
