ASA WINGMAN
It takes a big team to support our ASA Athletes and empower them to cross the finish line. Wingmen are the runners who volunteer their legs and hearts to help achieve an ASA Athlete’s goal of participating in mainstream running events. Wingmen also raise funds and awareness about our program, so that more ASA Athletes can cross the finish line.
