Para Athletics
Para-Athletics at Rebel Wheelers is where speed, strength, and stamina meet. From young children finding their pace in a race to our elite members competing on the international stage, our athletics programme is built for everyone. As an IWA-affiliated club, we offer a pathway that spans from local "have-a-go" days to the Irish Wheelchair Association Athletics Grand Prix series.
