2025 - 2026

about born to adapt events, races, and workshops.

At Born to Adapt, there are two general ways to get involved in our programming: through our annual events and partner races. The difference between the two?

  • We host annual events around the globe designed for the disabled community. These are events that we—Born to Adapt—put on, and they’re open to the general public. You’ll see a few examples and upcoming ones below, like our annual Born to Adapt New Zealand event in February 2026.

  • We partner with established races to widen the field for adaptive athletes. If you are an (aspiring) adaptive athlete, keep an eye on our adaptive-friendly race partnerships, like the iconic Broken Arrow Skyrace, mammoth trailfest., and XYZ. Are you a race director who wants to partner? Get in touch here.

  • We host workshops and join panel sessions throughout the year to educate folks on creating safe and inclusive spaces for the disabled community. See our upcoming workshops and panels below. To invite or hire Born to Adapt to come speak with you and your community, visit our participate page.
