MANILA, Philippines – In 2009 a group of fitness enthusiasts had an idea: to use an accessible, affordable sport like running to create a supportive, encouraging and empowering environment for people with disabilities.
Called Runninghour, the volunteer group now has nearly 400 members and allows people with special needs to exercise outdoors and meet friends.
The visually and intellectually impaired join races, train around Singapore, and form bonds with regular, dedicated volunteers.
Watch how the volunteers of Runninghour serve as eyes for the blind and guide those with other special needs, from gun start to the finish line.
