2025 Race for Independence (7.5K, 5K, and 2.5K)

The League will host the inaugural Race 4 Independence on July 26, 2025 - a celebration of the 35th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act and part of our 75th anniversary year.

This inclusive event invites runners, walkers, wheelchair users, human guides, and supporters of all abilities to come together in movement and advocacy. We have 7.5K (Run/Walk), 5K (Run/Walk), and 2.5K (Walk) course options.

We will award medals to the top male, female, and non-binary winners of each category. There are divisions for wheelchair (push rims, hand cycle, and power chair), low vision (human guide or independent), and ambulatory (assisted device or independent) at the 2.5K distance.

Join us for a fun day on the beautiful Purdue Fort Wayne Campus. Make a bigger impact by becoming a fundraiser for The League or creating a team.
