Frame Running (Race Running) is an innovative sport designed for kids through to adults with a disability who have impaired balance and are unable to functionally run. 

Participating in Frame Running  provides each individual the freedom to move and run in a supported and balanced way without a walker, wheelchair or similar device.

The frames are individually adjusted and fitted to the needs of each person so they can participate confidently and independently in activities with their friends while building core strength and stability. 

The program is a great opportunity for participants to not only reach their fitness and sporting goals but also improve their social and community participation through engaging in group sessions with like-minded friends.
