👼 Ainsley’s Angels Partnership

This year we are going to be teaming up with Ainsley's Angels again!!! Who are they? They are an amazing group of people who race while pushing our special needs warriors in their "chariots"! Interested in having your warrior have their own chariot? Register for our race and then register for your warrior to have their own angel at Ainsley's Angels.

IMPORTANT: if you plan on having an Ainsley's Angels pusher for your warrior, you MUST first register your warrior with Ainsley's Angels AND notify them that you would like to participate in THIS race so that they will have someone available for your person.
