Run On Your New Legs (Atarashii Ashi de Kakenukero) is a seinen sports manga by Wataru Midori published in Shogakukun's Weekly Big Comic Spirits from October 2019 to November 2020. An English translation was released starting in March 2022.

The story follows Kikuzato Shouta, a recent amputee who discovers the world of para-athletics and blade running with the help of a prosthetist who offers to build him a blade (a prosthetic leg designed for running).

Run On Your New Legs contains examples of:

Ambiguously Brown: Sakashita's skin is shaded darker than the rest of the characters.

Don't You Dare Pity Me!: Kikuzato insists on being treated like any other member on the track team and is not happy when he thinks he's being coddled.

Handicapped Badass: Being a series about para-athletics, several characters qualify.

Hiding the Handicap: Discussed by Tsuchiya, showing off their prosthetic legs tends to attract stares, but hiding them makes it harder to get accommodated.

Mama Bear: Mrs. Kikuzato. Justified, since her son was in an accident that left him without a left leg.
