Introducing the newest program from The Kyle Pease Foundation - Kyle Pease Kids!
In partnership with The Arthur M Blank Family Foundation, The Kyle Pease Kids Program inspires collaboration, community, and a lifelong commitment to inclusivity by empowering young athletes with disabilities and youth volunteers to experience the transformative power of sports.
Kyle Pease Kids are Athletes, Teammates and Changemakers
Athletes
Are you under 21 and living with a disability? The Kyle Pease Kid’s Program offers opportunities to participate in endurance events, building confidence, teamwork, and lifelong friendships. Our inclusive program ensures every child feels valued and supported, on or off the racecourse.
TEAMMATES
Be a part of something extraordinary by supporting young athletes in the Kyle Pease Kid’s Program! As a youth teammate (Age 10 - 18 years), you will have the unique opportunity to run alongside and push an athlete in races, creating a bond through shared effort and teamwork. All teammates under 18 will require a background check to be completed by their parent/guardian.
Changemakers
Calling all young changemakers! Run in races, challenge yourself, and raise funds to support the Kyle Pease Kid’s Program. As a KPK Changemaker, you can show your support by entering any of our Kyle Pease Kids events and fundraising for the Kyle Pease Kids program, or you can host your own event in your local community.

Ethos of Kyle Pease Kids - Let's run as a team!
Running teammates should feel comfortable covering a 5K distance - but don’t worry, you won’t be going it alone! We run in teams, so no one is ever responsible for pushing an in-chair athlete by themselves.
Each team will include up to two youth teammates and one adult. Since it’s all about working together, your team will start and finish the race side by side.
Our number one goal? Teamwork and FUN! This isn’t about setting a personal record - it’s about sharing an awesome experience together on the course.
