About the Event

Stride for Sight 5K invites runners of all ages and abilities to join forces on February 27, 2027, in Scottsdale. This unique race not only celebrates diversity but also raises funds for the Foundation for Blind Children’s vital programs. Participants can choose between a timed 5K or a more leisurely 1-mile walk.
For those seeking an extraordinary challenge, the event features “The Blindfold Challenge.” Competitors have the chance to run blindfolded with the guidance of a sighted teammate. Teams will experience the race in a whole new light—literally and figuratively—as they navigate the course together using only their senses and trust. Whether running entirely blindfolded or swapping roles mid-race, this adventure offers an unparalleled perspective on teamwork and resilience.
Blindfolds and tethers are provided to ensure everyone can participate safely and enjoy a memorable experience.
