About Frame Running

Frame Running (also/formerly known as RaceRunning) is a sport designed for athletes with disabilities and balance impairments. Athletes use an adaptive mobility device, called a Running Frame, which features a three wheeled frame with saddle and body supports and no pedals. The Running Frame allows individuals with Cerebral Palsy, Muscular Dystrophy, Parkinson's Disease, spasticity, and other disabilities that impede balance and mobility to walk and run under their own power. Organized events involve athletes competing over a variety of distances similar to traditional track meets, from 40-3000 meters and up.

Currently Frame Running is being developed by CPISRA: Cerebral Palsy International Sports and Recreation Association with athletes from Australia, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, England/Wales, Faroe Islands, Japan, Hungary, Norway, Portugal, Scotland, Spain, Sweden & the USA participating in competitive events.

Beyond competitive events, utilizing a Frame Runner recreationally provides significant opportunities for disabled individuals to simply enjoy walking and running - an experience not otherwise easily accomplished for many. The Frame Runner’s value in providing both competitive and recreational athletic opportunities is unmatched for those who spend the majority of their time relying on a power wheelchair or other assistive devices to make mobility a practical reality.
