Our Vision

Achilles International, a global organization operating in 25 countries including Aotearoa New Zealand, transforms the lives of people with disabilities through athletic programs and social connections. Since our founding in 1983, we have empowered over 150,000 athletes of all ages and ability levels to participate in endurance events around the globe.

Achilles NZ's vision is to provide New Zealanders with disabilities the opportunity to participate alongside able-bodied athletes in local, national, and international events.

Achilles Christchurch provides fellowship, support and community for people with a disability to train, access and participate in able-bodied walking and running events.
