Organiser's description

Join us for our 3rd Annual Autism Acceptance Fun Run/Walk on Saturday, April 29th at 7am at LZHS. Run or walk your own distance... you choose!

In Person at LZHS on April 29th at 7am. Run or walk your own distance... you choose!

There is no cost to you to run the event! Donations are welcome but not required.

Rather than joining an organized virtual run, this year we are creating our own fun run for Alpine Runners Friends & Family so that 100% OF THE DONATIONS will go directly to families who want to bring their children to In2Great camps this summer without the financial obligation. In2Great has therapies from occupational, speech, ABA, physical, social and more. They offer camps so children can expand their horizons and grow to reach the highest of potential.

You will have the opportunity to donate on the donation page of this site while registering.

We also have the opportunity to pre-order a T-shirt when registering. T-shirts will only be available for pre-order on this site through April 12th. The t-shirts are $25. All proceeds from the t-shirts will also go towards funding for children to attend In2Great camps. T-shirts can be picked up the morning of the fun run.

We will be providing printed race bibs on the day of the race to in-person participants. Refreshments will be provided after the run/walk.

Please consider using this run/walk as a kick-off for your training for the Alpine Races! The ALPINE RACES https://runsignup.com/Race/IL/LakeZurich/AlpineRaces TAKE PLACE ON AUGUST 20TH this year. Learn more about the ALPINE RACES HERE https://runsignup.com/Race/IL/LakeZurich/AlpineRaces.

Thank you in advance for your participation and/or donation!
