G-Sport Challenge #2: Free The Wheelers – 2021

Paralympic athlete Joyce Lefevre challenges the Triple Challenge community and event organizers:

Joyce Lefevre:

This is your challenge: “Join a motley group of runners, Wheelers (wheelchair athletes), Buddies (runners who push participants in sports wheelchairs) in the Saint Nicholas Run and cross the finish line with me!”

“It seems like a simple challenge, but due to obstacles, we may get stranded somewhere along the way. Because still too many sporting events are not accessible to G-sport athletes. With this challenge we bring a pleasurable cry for help to do something about it!”

Walk, roll, sphere with us. Not only will you be raising the spirits of G athletes, it will also be a real energy booster for everyone (with or without wheels). 💥

Joyce.

Challenge accepted!

With this challenge, we and Joyce want to wake up organizers to make sports events more wheelchair accessible. The Sint-Niklaas Run will join the challenge! And if we cross the finish line, Joyce’s organizer will be the first to receive the Triple Challenge G-Sport Trophee! 🏆

What to do. Start and finish in group at the Saint-Nicolas Run .
Who can participate? Anyone who wants to roll, bulb or walk with us to give G-sports a heartbeat.
Dress code: we want to stand out, come colorful! 💜 ❤️ 💚
When? Nov. 14, 2021, start: 8:50 a.m. We may leave first!
Where? Sint-Niklaas, the Grand Place
