ASA Guest Participation Waiver

ASA Logo
An Athletes Serving Athletes Group Training Run is a casual “group run” that is an excellent way to connect with our community while checking out our program.  You’ll see what it’s like to run as part of our ASA Team and learn more about our organization. You need to be able to run a 5K without stopping. At a group training run you will be running as part of a Wingman Team with an ASA Athlete and other runners, led by a Captain who will manage the team and ensure a great experience for all.  No experience with disabilities is necessary.
