The Chicago Blade Runners is a group dedicated to helping amputees interested in running. We will pair you with a guide who will be with you the entire race.

Our group ranges from competitive athletes to recreational runners and typically do 4 5K's each summer. The
goal is to get to the finish line whether it's run, walk, hop, crutch or crawl! The group is filled with great people who motivate and push each other to have fun and achieve their goals. If you are an amputee who is interested in running or an able bodied runner interested in being a guide we would love to welcome you in to our group.
