2021 Race for Autism SUPERHERO Challenge
You can be a SUPERHERO for autism!
What is a Virtual Challenge? A virtual challenge is a run/walk event that we do together, yet independently. It can even be done on a treadmill or elliptical machine!
TEAM UP to complete in the challenge! Creating a team of superheroes to go the distance with you can be uplifting and build a sense of togetherness. Teams can choose to each run/walk the distance themselves or run/walk for a combined distance total. So grab your family members and friends (and don't forget those out of town) and let's be SUPERHEROES for autism!

54K Challenge: Every 1-in-54 children in the US has autism. To raise autism awareness we have created a 54K distance that is actually easier to accomplish than you think!
SUPERHERO LEVEL (Individual): Approximately 5K for each of the 10 days
(You can decide the distances/ days you want to run.)
TEAM CHALLENGE (combined): Run or walk less than a mile per day for 10 days (family of 4)
(Note: It can even be done on a treadmill or elliptical.)
For those that complete the 54K Challenge, we have a special gift that's just for you, and gives you bragging rights!
