BLACKMORES ceo Richard Henfrey has launched a partnership with Special Olympics Australia for the upcoming Blackmores Sydney Running Festival.
Special Olympics athletes will join not only as runners this year, but as fitness trainers, hosts at the Blackmores Recovery Village and race ambassadors.
The pact aims to celebrate diversity and inclusion, by introducing these inspirational athletes to the Blackmores trainer and influencer squad, "to help break down stigma in today's society and to inspire all Australians to get on board," Henfrey said.
"Like Blackmores, Special Olympics is also committed to encouraging Australians to get involved in sport and to highlight the importance of keeping active."
The running festival is scheduled for 16 Sep - more details at sydneyrunningfestival.com.au.
