The Gaylord Gauntlet 5k Trail and Obstacle Run celebrates its tenth year with 1,000 runners expected to participate in the Saturday, June 24th race. Held entirely on the 400-acre campus of Gaylord Specialty Healthcare, a nonprofit rehabilitation-focused healthcare system in Wallingford, Conn., race proceeds will benefit the Gaylord Sports Association, Connecticut’s largest adaptive sports program. The course offers wooded trail and open field running with 24 natural and man-made obstacles, lots of mud, walls, climbing net, logs, fire, a rope swing, ladders, a giant see-saw, a larger-than-life waterslide and more. The course is a fun challenge for everyone, with all racers utilizing the same obstacles and alternate routes around most obstacles. Two adaptive athletes will be selected as the 2023 Gaylord Gauntlet Sponsored Adaptive Athletes. Eligible applicants must be over 16, have a permanent physical disability, and live outside of Connecticut. Sponsorships will cover entry fees, lodging, and race-day food for the athlete and up to four supporting team members.
