  • Born to Adapt is a project of the Mendocino Movement Project,  a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization.

  • Our Born to Adapt Ambassadors are athletes, community builders, and people who are passionate about social justice and creating inclusive spaces for the disabled community. These are people who actively and consistently embody the mission, values, and spirit of B2A in their field, work, and/or life. If you are interested in partnering with B2A as an Ambassador, please see our participation page.

  • We activate events alongside existing trail races and outdoor experiences, meaning that there is always an opportunity for disabled and non-disabled people to participate together.

    Not interested in racing? No problem. We also welcome people who are interested in attending our events as volunteers. Click here to fill out a volunteer form.

  • Born to Adapt partners with established races, like mammoth trailfest., UTMB, and Broken Arrow Skyrace, to ensure that adaptive athletes have the avenue and opportunity to safely race these courses. B2A partner races are specifically for para runners.

While they are built for the disabled community, we invite any and everyone to come experience the power of movement together. Our independent events are great opportunities to support B2A, be it through donations or volunteering, as well.

We use donation funds to support Born to Adapt athletes with travel (flights), accommodations to events, outdoor gear (tents, shoes, sleeping bags, etc), and support event costs (permits, insurance, event space, official timing). We also ensure that participants have prizes and food at each event. With your help, our vision is to scale so we can put on events more often and in more locations globally.

Your support also ensures that future Born to Adapt athletes have no financial barriers to attending our events.
