Athol, MA, March 17th – June 14th, 2026, with Athol Royalston School District. Unified Track and Field is a special Olympic event that seeks to promote social inclusion by pairing athletes of similar ability in the same competition. Athletes with intellectual disabilities are paired up with those without them (known as “partners”) for the various events including sprints, relays, middle-distance races, long jump, high jump, javelin throw and shot put. The idea behind unified track is that it doesn’t matter if you have a disability; everyone has something unique about them that makes them special. Participants can work together towards common goals whilst forming meaningful relationships along the way.
