Omeo America is proud to be in Arizona, one of the leading states providing adaptive sports experiences for those with mobility challenges. In 2020 we formed a partnership with Southern Arizona Adaptive Sports (SAAS), supporting their handcycling team as they participated in El Tour de Tucson. What began as a sponsored handcycling team has grown into a larger community effort to help SASS continue to grow and develop their community of athletes and the impact they have throughout the Tucson area including support of the University of Arizona’s Adaptive Athletic Department.
If you are looking to get involved in participating or supporting adapted athletics in Tucson, Arizona, we have two upcoming events that we’d love for you to join!
The Jim Click Run and Roll event on October 8th – supporting the University of Arizona’s Adaptive Athletic Department – This is their biggest fundraiser of the year, and you won’t want to miss out! Sign up to run (or roll!) in this fun, early morning 5k race on the U of A Mall!
Southern Arizona Adaptive Sports & Omeo Handcycling Team for El Tour de Tucson on November 18th – Sign up to ride under the Omeo flag and fundraise on behalf of Southern Arizona Adaptive Sports or Wounded Warrior!
Below are some images from our kick-off event celebrating adaptive sports in Tucson, held at Flora’s Market Run on September 12th. Over 50 adaptive athletes joined us for happy hour to meet up with fellow athletes to enjoy a few drinks provided by Omeo while noshing on some delicious food donated by Flora’s!
And, we aren’t just sticking to Arizona when it comes to building communities surrounding adaptive experiences. Stay tuned for information on upcoming partnerships happening in San Diego, California, and Denver, Colorado!
