Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation’s second annual Adaptive 5k Race was a success! On Saturday, May 13 in Carmel’s Central Park, 25 amazing athletes of all ages and abilities participated in our sensory-friendly race, which had a completely accessible course. Seeing all the runners cross the finish line was an awesome experience!

Thank you to our sponsor Edible Arrangements, our wonderful volunteers, and all of the supporters that helped make this event possible, including Special Needs Living Magazine, Thrive Social Club, Specialized Home Care Services, Jack’s Donuts of Carmel, Jim’s Amazing Bread, and Carmel Trophies, Awards & Gifts. We hope to see you all back next year!
