Join us for the third annual Blind As A Bat 5K! The event will be Monday, October 23, 2023 through Tuesday, October 31, 2023 (if you dare!) at a location of your choice, "dreadmills" included! Complete the event & log your results, before the spooky Halloween spirits fall asleep for another year! 

This race has been created as a fundraiser for Eye Got This, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to the awareness, empowerment and safety of blind and visually impaired athletes. Eye Got This seeks to encourage and create accessibility for visually impaired and blind athletes to continue to enjoy the athletics they love. To provide each athlete with the confidence to tell themselves, “Eye got this!” The net proceeds raised through this race will be directly invested into enhancing programming, empowering visually impaired and blind athletes, creating safe guide connections, providing adaptive equipment, and helping to generate overall awareness for visually impaired and blind athletes.

We encourage you to complete the race in your most creative Halloween costume for extra virtual bonus points. Don't forget to share your pictures using our hashtag #BlindAsABat5K 

And for an extra challenge, try the FREE "Masked Mile" challenge. Run (or walk) 0.1 to 1-mile in the eyes of a visually-impaired athlete by wearing a mask/blindfold, with the help of a guide. Use the hashtag #MaskedMileChallenge to share your experience and help bring awareness for visually-impaired and blind athletes.

*Please note* this challenge does come with increased risk so if you do attempt to try this, please find a safe place to complete the challenge. A track with a guided runner is our recommendation!
