Our Story
The Bionic Project, Inc. was founded by Will Borden in 2018, driven by a passion for inclusivity in athletic events. As a below-the-knee amputee and avid runner, Will recognized the need for events that welcome individuals of all abilities. The inaugural Bionic5k in Harvard Square broke barriers, fostering community and connection. In 2022, a second race in San Francisco continued this mission. Understanding the importance of engaging youth, Bionic launched an education program in the fall of 2023, reaching 34 schools and over 10,000 students across Massachusetts and California.
