Runners prepare for annual Around the Crown race on I-277 [Video]

The Around the Crown 10K is just days away. Runners will take off from Truist Field and run on Interstate 277 around Uptown on Sunday.

One national nonprofit is making sure it’s an event for all.

The Ability Experience pairs runners and people with disabilities so everyone can feel the accomplishment of crossing the finish line.

“While the athlete with a disability is kind of borrowing the legs of a runner, if you will, our able-bodied runners are borrowing the spirit and attitude and encouragement from our athletes with disabilities,” said Andrew Matznick, the executive director of The Ability Experience. “It really is a team effort.”
