Abstract
Describes a cross country running program for boys and girls at the Wisconsin School for the Visually Handicapped. Totally blind children were assigned sighted guides, while partially sighted children ran alone, though guidance was available from colored flags positioned along the course to indicate turns. Advantages of the program were improved physical condition, “feeling better,” practice of O & M skills, and opportunities to interact with faculty and with sighted children on other school teams.
