Wheelchair Racing: Competing with heart in a unique landscape

The track calls. Tight turns, challenging straightaways, and the thrill of competition let you forget everything else. Anyone who participates in wheelchair racing does so for the sport and the community. You're competing in a sport that is cherished by athletes, coaches, volunteers, and fans.

Who supports the sport where you compete?

Wheelchair racing happens thanks to the efforts of various supporters. Consider organizations promoting adaptive sports, local clubs, and dedicated volunteers. Each of these contributes in their own way to ensure the unique character of this inspiring sport.

They not only promote the sport but also make participation possible. They do this with great care because even if a new athlete shows promise, they need proper guidance and equipment. Sometimes, it's necessary to adjust training or adapt equipment for the benefit of the athlete.

What does that mean for you as a wheelchair racer?

It's simple: compete consciously. You're welcome, but be mindful. The races are organized with care and consideration. They take into account the athletes' needs, safety, and track conditions. So when you get in your racing wheelchair, follow the course. Be amazed by the competition and leave behind a legacy of good sportsmanship.

Together, we'll keep the sport thriving and the community strong, so that you can keep racing. Today, tomorrow, and hopefully for a long time to come.
