2024 Hawkathlon Participant Registration
The Hawkathlon is a FREE adaptive challenge course coming April 13th, 2024 at the University of Iowa Campus Recreation & Wellness Center, for people with disabilities. A third of the participants will be running around the track, a third will be completing fitness stations and the other third will be doing an activity station. There will be stations for participants to go through as many or as few stations as they choose. After 20 minutes the three groups will rotate and all participants will finish together with one final lap around the track.
Each participant will have the option to complete the course with a buddy to help encourage and motivate them to keep going! All of our stations will have various adaptations. Our goal for the event is to create opportunities for people with disabilities and support a healthy lifestyle, regardless of personal circumstances. See our mission statement below:
Mission Statement: We at Hawkathlon aim to create inclusive opportunities to make exercise a fun and accessible activity for all. By including potential adaptations at every station, we intend to empower all of our participants. Anyone is capable of anything.
All participants will receive a medal for completion of the challenge course at the finish line and will be entered to win raffle prizes.
Participants should plan to arrive around 12:45 to prepare for the race.
Participation is limited to 40 people. If we hit the max, you will be added to a waitlist.
University of Iowa Inclusivity Statement: Individuals with disabilities are encouraged to attend all University of Iowa-sponsored events.
