The "Race Ability" project is a capacity-building initiative that promotes inclusive, cooperative, and sustainable obstacle races as an innovative way to encourage physical activity, social inclusion, and active citizenship. Bringing together partners from Lithuania, Romania, Turkey, and Greece, the project strengthens the capacities of sports organisations, educators, and volunteers to design and implement safe, accessible, and environmentally responsible obstacle courses using recycled materials. Through international cooperation, practical training, and the development of innovative tools, Race Ability aims to make obstacle racing a sport for everyone, fostering teamwork, well-being, equal opportunities, and a more sustainable approach to sports.
