At Down with Running, (DwR) we work with select individuals diagnosed with special needs to help build a foundation for accomplishment using individualized goal setting techniques. This comes at no cost to families and is funded through sponsorships, fundraising, and race entry fees.
​
At Down with Running (DwR), we believe progress starts with small wins. Wins that build confidence, consistency, and self-respect. Whether it’s taking a short walk, choosing water instead of soda, or simply showing up for yourself, DwR is here to guide individuals with special needs with practical steps.​ We believe that fitness and mental strength should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their situation or circumstances.

As a father of a child with Down Syndrome, our owner realized first hand that programming for children with disabilities doesn't extend far enough. While social and occupational programming is vital for the development of children, funding for those programs is either hard to come by, or simply not funded for the amount of need there is.
​
DwR is for individuals that want to take a next step to challenge themselves and develop a mindset that was once thought impossible for individuals with special needs. ​
​
At DwR, we are dedicated to empowering people at the beginning of a journey. We provide Instructional Encouragement.
