Programs

AccesSportAmerica's programs are designed to promote each person's highest physical and athletic potential while cultivating social and emotional well-being. We seek to create a community where differences are diminished, blurred and often erased. We emphasize the need to "train for life" and design programs to build a community of relationships that last a lifetime.

2018 Mayor's Cup Regatta

Each year, dozens of boats race along the Charles to raise funds for ASA programs, to raise awareness about our programs, and to challenge athletes of all abilities.

This isn't just any boat race! Our signature Regatta consists of teams of 8 competing in Hawaiian Outrigger Canoe Races. Come race in double-hulled traditional canoes, provided by ASA.

New for 2018, our corporate teams will be joined by friend/family teams. Individual paddlers are encouraged to register as well - we'll assign you to a boat. No experience necessary! Paddlers must be 5 years or older. As always, all of our events are accessible to participants of all abilities and many of our Regatta teams include at least one person living with a disability.

Run for ACCESS

New for 2018 participants will have the option to register as walkers or runners, individuals or teams!

Walkers:  Participants who register as walkers will have the option of walking at their own pace a along both sides of the beautiful Charles River in a 5K loop that begins and ends at our Start Line. Additional shorter routes will also be available. Walkers may register as an individual or create a team to walk together.

Runners: Participants choosing to run will have the option of running 5K, 10K or Half-marathon. Runners may register as an individual or create a team.

A film made by Andrew Mudge. AccesSportAmerica produced this 11-minute film with our great friends at Zeno Mountain Farm. Every March at our Sports Camp in Jensen Beach, Florida, 32 people with a wide range of skills, abilities, and disabilities form four teams to compete for "The Cup." This intense training camp is now over 10 years in running.
