Description
Join Us for the Mikayla’s Voice Tri for Inclusion!
Mikayla’s Voice Tri for Inclusion is much more than a race; it’s a priceless opportunity for kids and young adults to participate in an empowering event. It sends an important message to our entire community about inclusion and unity.
A Community Celebration
Every year, on a Saturday in late June, the Lehigh Valley comes together. No one is left on the sidelines. Individuals of all abilities compete side-by-side, achieving what they may have never dreamed possible. This event shows our community that there is always a way to include everyone in everything.
An Unforgettable Experience
It’s hard to fully express how wonderful this day is. Everyone experiences a profound sense of accomplishment—athletes for participating and finishing, and volunteers for making it all possible.
