FRAME RUNNING
What is Frame Running
Frame Running (also called Race Running) is an athletic discipline for people with cerebral palsy or related neuromuscular disorders. The Frame Runner is a wheeled frame with a saddle, body support, and no pedals. The athlete steers the structure using his/her hands or arms. Athletes can run long distances in the secure and stable bike-like structure. It gives the athletes the opportunity to move freely on their feet without the risk of falling.
Recreational Frame Running is a great way to move and stay active while competitive Frame Running is a para athletics discipline that can include 100m and 200m races with emerging and exciting competition opportunities.
Frame Running was included in the Canadian Track and Field Championships for the first time in 2026 and the sport will join the Paralympic Games at the LA 2028 Paralympics.
