Hurdling Obstacles at the USABA Marathon National Championships

On Sunday, two USABA athletes crossed the finish line to become 2015 USABA Marathon National Champions – but not without hurdling substantial obstacles along the course. When guides for both Amelia Dickerson and Matt Oliver experienced setbacks, these champion athletes had to adapt, trusting the guidance of strangers and new friends to lead them to the finish line.

The 2015 USABA Marathon National Championships event was… Read More

Two Are Better Than One

It takes a community of people to make races happen. A committee to plan the event, countless volunteers to facilitate water and recovery stations, set-up and tear down crews, and supporters to encourage athletes as they train as well as on race day. But for athletes who are blind and visually impaired, races wouldn’t happen without people like Caroline Gaynor. Gaynor is a super guide. She travels the country to guide athletes in races and triathlons. To date, Gaynor has guided 10 athletes in more than 30 triathlons, including 6 Ironman races.
