About the Event

Scottsdale's Arizona Boardwalk transforms into a revolutionary sensory experience at the Foundation for Blind Children Stride For Sight 5K & 1 Mile Run/Walk on February 28, 2026, where sighted and visually impaired participants compete together through an optional Blindfold Challenge that redefines athletic perspective. This groundbreaking event invites participants to navigate a timed 5K or relaxed mile while tethered to sighted guides, with provided blindfolds allowing runners to temporarily exchange visual reliance for trust-based partnership—an experiential bridge to understanding daily navigation for the Foundation's clients. Beyond fundraising for comprehensive blindness services, the gathering creates rare common ground where ability differences dissolve into shared momentum.

With flexible participation options including traditional racing, guided running, role-swapping mid-course, or a "Sleep-in for Sight" registration supporting from home, the event demonstrates innovative inclusivity while maintaining competitive structures through chip timing and age-group awards. The morning's deepest achievement isn't measured in finish times but in expanded empathy, proving that sometimes the most visionary runs happen when eyes remain closed to appreciate how others move through the world.
