Ability Experience Challenges
Moving Forward, Together
Ability Experience Challenges promote inclusion by enabling people with and without disabilities to compete together in endurance events. They are your way to impact the lives of people with disabilities across the country while challenging yourself mentally and physically. These events are open to anyone in order to promote the abilities of all people. Whether you choose to walk, run or roll, you will help provide enabled athletes (athletes with disabilities) the opportunity to compete side-by-side in various races across the country!
Ability Experience Challenges offer you pre-event support and a VIP experience on race day. You will be able to experience these events as a member of Team Ability Experience and have the full support of our staff and fellow athletes.

Team Ability Experience Ambassadors
The Team Ability Experience Ambassador program is designed for supporters who wish to take their impact to the next level. Ambassadors are tasked with representing the organization and supporting the mission through athletic activities in their community. Learn more about how you can stay active and create shared experiences as a Team Ability Experience Ambassador!
My Challenge Events
My Challenge events allow you to choose your own event to impact the organization. If you can’t join a signature event team, then find a local event you want to compete in, choose your fundraising goal and let The Ability Experience staff help you reach your goal. If you happen to be completing the same event as another My Challenge participant, we will be happy to put you in touch with other team members! All My Challenge event participants will receive a running shirt for your event and staff support leading up to your event.
