It's not too late to sign up for the Autism Speaks Virtual 5K!

Hi John,

This year, we're celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Autism Speaks 5K, which started with an amazing group of volunteers in Potomac, MD. To commemorate this milestone, we are taking the event from neighborhood to nationwide by inviting everyone across the country to join together (virtually) to increase understanding and acceptance for people with autism and their families while raising raise funds for Autism Speaks.

Join us by running or walking the Autism Speaks Virtual 5K on Saturday, July 4, wherever you are, 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 providing for those in urgent need of resources right now and will support our continued commitment to create a kinder, more inclusive world.

Registration will close at 11:59 PM on Friday, July 3.

Every great race comes with great swag. By signing up for the Autism Speaks Virtual 5K, you will receive this Running on Kindness t-shirt and puzzle piece medal featuring a spectrum of colors signifying the diversity of perspectives and experiences of people with autism.

Whether around your neighborhood, on a treadmill or in your local park (maintaining safe social distancing recommendations in your region), we look forward to seeing our community come together to support the autism community.

We hope to see you (virtually) on race day! Share all of your pre-race prep, finish line selfies and inspirational videos with us on social media. Tag @AutismSpeaks and use hashtag #RunningOnKindness.

Thank you for your support.
