Participants of all fitness levels gathered at the track at Collegiate School's Mooreland Road campus where trained guides were available to assist anyone who needed help.

The family-friendly event encouraged people living with disabilities to engage in physical activity alongside their community.

The Henrico-based nonprofit focuses on ensuring equal access to community experiences for people with visual impairments.

"We wanted to encourage folks to come out, enjoy the fresh air, get together with your community and move a little bit and groove with the music," Virginia Voice CEO Yvonne Mastromano said. "So this is our first ever Guide and Stride and we're really excited to be here."
