What better way to build community, support local and national charities, and encourage active lifestyles for your family than participating in upcoming fun runs or 5Ks? There are several opportunities to join in on trail runs, a 2K, or a full 5K. No fear if running isn’t for you. Walking, jogging, and stroller pushing is encouraged at several runs included on our list.
You could also join in on the fun and dress up for themed races, make signs to cheer on your friends and neighbors along the way, or partake in the post race festivities with live music and prizes. Cross the finish line as a family of change-makers, empowered to take on the next race ahead. Meet us at the starting line!

ABC’s Across the Spectrum 5K was created by ABC Therapy Clinics, a local family owned ABA clinic committed to providing therapy services to children with autism. This event is designed to bring together people of all ages to participate in a day full of fun, fitness, and awareness.
The race fee is $25 for adults, which includes an event t-shirt, and $10 for children who receive a special event cape instead of a t-shirt! So cute. Whether you’re running, walking, or participating with a stroller, everyone is welcome to join in on the fun!
