Games Uniting Mind and Body (GUMBO) is an interscholastic track and field competition designed for children ages 5 years to adult who have physical, hearing or visual disabilities. The events are not unlike those at any other track and field event: races, shot put, discus, etc. What makes GUMBO different is the fact that all of the athletes have mobility or visual impairments and many, but not all, compete with leg braces, wheelchairs, or assistance from sighted guides.
