About Us

Down with Running (DwR) helps individuals with special needs set and achieve their physical goals. We work in one-on-one settings and through community events to help our applicants build confidence, push themselves, and make it happen.

No matter the starting point, DwR is in your corner so you don't have to go it alone. Couch to 5k? We got you. Learning to ride a bike? We've got wheels. Below are a few more examples of the types of assistance we offer.

We'll help with things like:

Running your first mile (or any distance!)

Building a consistent workout routine
Setting/tracking personal fitness milestones
Discovering new sports and physical activity

How We Can Help

Realistic Progress

We help you set goals that fit your life and your situation. One person with Down Syndrome has different goals than another. We will work with each person individually. We want to help individuals learn how to take consistent, manageable steps that translate into long term success.

Encouragement, Not Coaching

This isn’t “rah-rah” motivation or tough love. It’s instructional encouragement. That means clear, compassionate guidance that helps you keep going when it matters most. Think of us as your practical cheering section.

Community

You’re not alone. You’ll be part of a growing group of people who believe in progress without pressure. A space to share wins, setbacks, and the steps in between. Free from judgment.
