About Us
Achilles Adelaide is a volunteer-led, not-for-profit running and walking group empowering people who are blind or have low vision to get active, stay connected, and enjoy the many benefits of movement.
Founded in October 2024, we’re proudly building an inclusive, community-first space where people of all abilities can walk or run together, guided safely and with purpose. We’re currently working towards becoming a registered charity.
Whether it’s training for a local fun run or simply getting out in the fresh air for a social walk, our aim is simple: to reduce barriers and boost confidence through movement.
Where & When We Train
We meet every Saturday at 8:45am for a 9:00am start, finishing by 10:00am.
📍 Location: The Rotunda, Glenelg
We occasionally join local ParkRuns or community events — follow us on social media to stay in the loop!
A Bit of History
Our very first training session was held at Torrens ParkRun on Saturday 9 November 2024 — and we’ve been growing ever since, one guide, one athlete, and one step at a time.
