JOIN THE VIRTUAL RACE - TRACK YOUR COURSE
Lace up your sneakers, throw on your Race bib, and hit the road in your neighborhood for some exercise, fresh air, and sunshine – all for a very good cause! 

Timed Runners: Join the Virtual 5K through the FREE Strava app to log your course and time. Through that site, we'll be keeping a leaderboard and tracking times by age categories to award medals! It's quick & easy to set-up, requires no other equipment, and is FREE.    >>>FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS HERE <<<

(If you don't have access to the Strava app, just let us know and we can work with you on timing results!) 

Family Fun Walkers: Go out and enjoy the great outdoors! Or, if you want to prove to all your friends and family that you completed the Race, you can also join the Virtual 1-Mile through the FREE Strava app to log your distance!    FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS HERE

Messages of Encouragement: You can be a SUPERHERO and help us spread messages of hope and encouragement on Race Day to those in our communities. CHALK YOUR WALK: Draw or write your messages on your driveway or sidewalk with chalk on Race Day. Take a photo to share with the Race Day virtual community online. 
*Don't have sidewalk chalk? We encourage you to get creative! Try markers and poster board, create a rock or pebble design. Creativity is always appreciated.


JOIN THE SOCIAL CONVERSATION
We want Race Day to be an opportunity to come together as a community and be SUPERHEROES in the safest way we can – AN ONLINE GATHERING!
 
From our home page, you will be able to join the online community. We'll be sharing video messages from surprise guests, highlighting the best Race Day Hero costumes, and offering you a platform to share your stories, your Race Day memories, photos and videos of how you and your family are spending Race Day, and start conversations with others in the autism and San Diego community. 

Plus: Throughout Race Day morning we'll be hosting interactive Q & As with autism professionals, awarding fun raffle prizes, judging a costume contest, and more! We’ll be posting a schedule of online events on Race Day right here too!
Note: You will be able to safely connect with family, friends, co-workers, and all of us at NFAR. 

 

RESOURCE FAIR
We are preparing a fantastic VIRTUAL RESOURCE FAIR! We have 50+ organizations that planned to be a part of our original on-site, educational RACE RESOURCE FAIR, and they are all moving on-line! We hope to launch the VIRTUAL RESOURCE FAIR during Autism Awareness month in April. In the meantime, we will be showcasing autism providers on Race Day!
