This event was created to bring families, local businesses, and community members together in support of children and families navigating autism while raising funds for a nonprofit autism organization.
Participants can enjoy a scenic 5K course, finisher medals, awards for top runners, vendors, kids’ activities, sensory-friendly spaces, obstacle course, and more. Whether you’re running, walking, or cheering from the sidelines, there’s something for everyone to enjoy while supporting a meaningful cause.
All proceeds from the race will be donated to a nonprofit autism organization dedicated to providing services, resources, and support to families in need.
