Race info
Ready to have some fun?! Our annual walk/run for Autism Awareness and Acceptance is back and at a NEW LOCATION! We're going to come together at Island MetroPark to raise much needed funds. All proceeds from the event will be used to fund our family grant program.
Those participating in the 5K Run (timed) will start at 10am and those participating in the 5K Walk (not timed, no race bib provided) will start after the runners have started. We will adhere to an approximate 20 min/mile pace and everyone, runners and walkers, must be finished by 11:15am

Shirts are available through April 15th!
