Give Every Mile a Purpose. Join Team SEEABILITY!
Your next finish line can help create more opportunities for individuals with disabilities. Join Team SEEABILITY at the 2027 Classic City Marathon, Half Marathon, or Marathon Relay and raise funds for Extra Special People (ESP), a highly respected non-profit based in the Athens area that creates transformative experiences for individuals with disabilities and their families.
Two options! Choose the fundraising level that works for you.
SEEABILITY Runner | $1,000 Minimum
Take on your race independently with a mission behind every mile. You’ll receive:
A SEEABILITY athlete shirt.
A fundraising page, toolkit, and shareable graphics to help you reach your goal.
All the benefits of knowing that your run helped other people!
SEEABILITY Ambassador | $5,000 Minimum
Experience your training journey with Team SEEABILITY beside you — and an ESP member cheering you on. You’ll receive:
A match with an ESP member “Support Coach” who will encourage you throughout training and on race day.
Branded SEEABILITY training and race gear.
A personalized fundraising page and toolkit, plus a kickoff call and regular one-on-one check-ins with ESP staff.
Discounted race registration.
Team SEEABILITY race-day support.
Meet Your Biggest Cheerleader
Every SEEABILITY Ambassador who has committed to trying to raise $5000 will be paired with an ESP member “Support Coach,” who will cheer you on from your first training mile to the finish line.
Through weekly check-ins, your coach will celebrate your progress and encourage you on the days training feels hard. As you get to know each other, you’ll see firsthand the people and possibilities that your fundraising supports.
You’ll arrive at the starting line with someone in your corner — and with a reason to keep going, all the way to your amazing finish!

You bring the miles.
They bring the meaning.
Together, you'll show the world what's possible when we SEE ABILITY.
Championed by former UGA Quarterback, college football analyst and color commentator, and ESP National Board Member Aaron Murray, ESP created an opportunity for athletes to compete for something bigger than themselves. SEEABILITY athletes take on something that challenges them physically — a marathon, triathlon, endurance race, or another big athletic goal — and use it to raise money and awareness for ESP. Email Eva at ESP for more information or to claim your spot as a SEEABILITY Athlete for the 2027 Classic City Marathon, Half Marathon, or Marathon Relay!
Through the generosity of our many participants, volunteers, friends, and sponsors, the Classic City Marathon Association is proud to provide financial support every year to a wide range of health- and fitness-related groups in the Athens area.
