Track and Field
The rules of Paralympic Track and Field are almost identical to those of its non-disabled counterpart. Certain allowances are made to accommodate certain disabilities. For example, the blind and more severely visually impaired runners compete with guide runners, who are often attached by the wrist with a tether to the runner. The Turnstone Endeavor Games track and field competition is open to male and female athletes with physical disabilities such as short stature, amputation/limb loss, blindness/visual impairment, spinal cord injury/wheelchair-users and cerebral palsy/brain injury/stroke. Some of the events that will be held at the Turnstone Endeavor Games track and field competition include: 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1500m javelin, discus, shot put, long jump and high jump. Medals will be awarded to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners in each event for the following categories: classification, gender and ages 6 and under, 7-10, 11-13, 14-15, 16-17, 18-19, 20-22, 23-34, 34-49, 50-59 and 60+.
