Currently we are seeking a person who would like to walk/run 2-3 times a week in the Greater Portland area with one of our athletes who is visually impaired. We provide training and facilitation of the partnership. Running experience is needed, however, you do not need to be a professional. After the intial meeting you and your running partner will designate meeting times and training sessions together.
