Organiser's description

Join us to kick off World Autism Month by running our Dallas-Fort Worth 5K/1K to show your support for people with autism. Your fundraising efforts will empower our work to promote solutions for the needs of people with autism and their families - including those in urgent need of resources right now and fuel our continued commitment to create a world where all people with autism can reach their full potential.

Every registered participant will receive a commemorative event shirt and finisher medal to show off your accomplishment and support for a kinder world.

As an added bonus on race day, all runners who raise $150 or more will receive access to our VIP area. What is the VIP area you may ask? It's a special place on race day for our sponsors and fundraisers to visit and receive VIP treatment. We will have brunch, goodie bags, prize drawings, and more! You won't want to miss out on this race morning! You may also purchase access to the VIP area. Details below.
