Blindfold Challenge Details

The Vision 5K is a fast course in a great downtown location: Roberto Clemente Park on Park Drive in the Back Bay Fens. All runners and walkers are welcome, with or without blindfolds.

Open to anyone

Blindfold Challenge participants run or walk on race day wearing a blindfold and with the aid of a sighted guide who has been matched with you based on your running/walking pace.
