So I finally managed to get some of the pictures from the Mud Hero Run we did this summer with some of our clients. In total, I think there was 10 clients (a mix of totally blind and low vision, as well as males and females), and over a dozen staff to assist. The race was 6 KM long over uneven terrain (hills, trees and trails), LOTS of mud and 18 obstacles (ranging from climbing through a tube, to sliding down a two story slide into mud, to climbing up large wooden structures). Everyone completed the run and it was exhausting but also empowering.
At one point, I was guiding a gentleman and we climbing over some shoulder-high walls. A group of other people were having some trouble getting over their wall... the leader from their group says "Just do what the blind guy is doing" ;) All the staff were impressed with the energy and commitment of our clients and can't wait to do it a third time next year!
EDIT: Huh... not sure how accessible Imgur is, but I tried to include a brief description below each pic. Hope that works :S
