Join us for an Amputee Running & Intro to Mobility Clinic at Messiah University in Mechanicsburg on Sunday, March 8th from 9:00 AM–12:00 PM, presented by Ability Ottobock.care Prosthetics and Orthotics. This welcoming, hands-on clinic is designed for individuals with limb loss who are curious about running, building confidence in the gym, and improving everyday mobility. No prior running or fitness experience required.
The clinic is led by Sam Schaefer, an amputee himself, fitness professional, and trail runner, who brings both lived experience and professional expertise. Participants will have the opportunity to explore new prosthetic and adaptive technology, learn the fundamentals of amputee running gait, and gain practical strategies for navigating the gym and modifying exercises to meet their needs. This event is an extension of our Unified 5K initiative, continuing our mission to make fitness and physical activity accessible, inclusive, and empowering for individuals with intellectual and physical disabilities.
