Tucson Spellers is excited to form a team for the Race for Communication, supporting the important work of the International Association for Spelling as Communication. This race raises funds to help promote inclusion and empowerment for nonspeakers who experience sensory-motor differences such as autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, and other communication barriers.

Since the official race takes place in Virginia, Tucson Spellers will participate as a virtual team, and this event will take the place of our Hiking Club for the month. Everyone is welcome whether you are a regular hiking club participant or just want to join us for this race!

We will gather locally and complete our race together at Agua Caliente Park, a beautiful and mostly accessible park that allows everyone to participate in a way that works best for them.

👟 All Tucson Spellers—spellers, families, friends, and supporters—are encouraged to join us. You can participate for any distance or length of time that feels comfortable. Whether you walk a little, complete a mile, or simply come cheer others on, the goal is to move together in support of communication access for all.

Virtual Registration Options:

• Virtual with Medal — $20.82

• Virtual with Medal and Shirt — $33.63

• Virtual without Medal/Shirt — $12.28
