Why Inclusion Matters

Athletes using handcycles, racing wheelchairs, and push-rim wheelchairs line up at the start of a race. A diverse crowd of runners and supporters stands behind them, clapping and cheering.

Individuals with disabilities face significant barriers to physical activity—not because of their abilities or desire to participate, but because of inaccessible environments, uninformed societal beliefs, and a lack of education among decision makers. The Unified 5k, and our work at AdaptX exists to challenge these barriers.

Two athletes stand behind custom racing wheelchairs with two participants seated, ready to start a race under a large green 'START' banner. The athletes wear 'Team Hoyt' shirts, symbolizing an inclusive race experience. The background features a crowd of spectators and colorful banners on a city street.
