Walk for Autism

The annual Walk for Autism and 5K Race unifies thousands of participants statewide in support of the mission and projects of the Autism Society. Autism is the fastest growing developmental disability in the U.S., and it affects over 50,000 people in Alabama alone. There is also a noncompetitive 2-mile awareness walk. Participants are welcome to bring strollers and wagons for youth participants. 

The first person to finish the walk will be awarded with a first place finisher medal. After the walk and race, team members can enjoy food vendors, bounce houses and a kids’ activity corner. The top fundraiser and largest team will be awarded a trophy and recognized at the event, and top female and male in each race age group will also be recognized.
