Speed for Need Inc

Our Mission

The mission of Speed for Need is to raise awareness and foster inclusion of those with a special need through participation in fitness events supported by the men of F3 Nation.

We push Track Commanders (riders with a special need) in customized racing wheelchairs to help them participate in and complete fitness events such as 5Ks, 10Ks, or marathons – experiences that they would not be able to have on their own.

How We Got Started

Speed for Need was born out of the love of a father and the passion of the men of F# Nation to have a positive impact on the lives of others.  We pushed our first Track Commander, Owen, in the American 4 Miler in Charlotte, NC on 7/4/2017 and haven't looked back since.


Where We Are Now

Since our inception in July 2017, Speed for Need has been privileged to run with nearly 300 Track commander in 83 races.  We have also led or attended more than 30 community events.  None of this would be possible without the help of hundreds of volunteers that run, push, and cheer on our Track Commanders!
