Not everyone can compete — not because of lack of ability, but because of lack of opportunity. Last fall that began to change at the CNIB Lake Joseph Centre (Lake Joe), as it opened its doors to Blind Guys Tri — a unique team made up of everyday athletes with vision loss and their sighted guides who have committed themselves to breaking down barriers and changing lives.

Join us as we run or walk the 5k, half-marathon or full-marathon in support of Blind Guys Tri. Your support will help Lake Joe continue to develop innovative programming and keep participation in sport accessible for all people of all ages and abilities.
