EMPOWERING LIVES THROUGH SPORT

CAF-SoCal offers clinics, programs, grants, and community events to individuals with physical disabilities, while also supporting families, encouraging volunteers, and appreciating our supporters. These opportunities not only provide access to sports but also foster a sense of community, allowing individuals to meet others. A variety of sports clinic opportunities are hosted throughout the year in Southern California to give individuals with a permanent physical disability the opportunity to learn a new sport or improve their skills.

COMMUNITY WEEKEND
NOVEMBER 1-3, 2024
You will not want to miss the Challenged Athletes Foundation’s (CAF) Community Weekend, featuring a new sprint distance for our signature San Diego Triathlon Challenge (SDTC). The iconic race that started it all is back and it’s better than ever!
Not only does Community Weekend have the best day in tri, but CAF’s entire event has something for everyone, including a metric century ride, stationary cycling, 5K walk and roll, and plenty of other fun opportunities to experience the joy of sport and CAF’s incredible community.
Join us for the most inclusive weekend in sports on November 2nd and 3rd in Mission Bay as we work together to increase access to sports for people with physical disabilities!
