For the visually impaired (VI) runners on the start line, their approach to this famous route will differ from their sighted counterparts.

Key Points: 
  • For the visually impaired (VI) runners on the start line, their approach to this famous route will differ from their sighted counterparts.
  • Just as there are misconceptions about blindness itself, many people are confused about how VI people run.
  • The reality is that, like all runners, VI runners have diverse experiences, preferences and needs.
  • Through touch, hearing, smell and usable vision, VI runners actively develop unique relationships with the routes they run.

Barriers to running

  • With VI people being one of the most inactive minority groups, running can be inclusive, empowering and provide a range of social and physical benefits.
  • But there are a number of societal barriers to VI people getting and staying involved in running.
  • In the US, an innovative project using guide dogs trained for running has led to positive outcomes for both runners and dogs.
  • For VI runners who prefer running indoors, the treadmills used in many gyms are inaccessible.

How you can get involved

  • The event’s inclusive ethos and specific efforts to encourage VI runners have created a welcoming and accessible environment.
  • Prospective runners and guides can also connect informally through parkruns, running clubs, local VI organisations or running organisations like Achilles International.
