Sheriff Levon Allen's Annual 5K for Autism

Hosted by Clayton County Sheriff Levon Allen and the Clayton County Sheriff's Office, this inspiring 5K Run/Walk is more than just a race—it’s a powerful community movement to raise autism awareness while strengthening the bond between law enforcement and the families we serve.

This event reflects Sheriff Allen’s ongoing commitment to inclusive, compassionate policing—ensuring that officers and citizens alike are educated and empowered to support individuals with autism in everyday interactions and emergency situations.

Starting at the historic Old Courthouse, the 3.1-mile route takes participants down the scenic slopes of Tara Boulevard, energized by cheers from community members along the way. We’ll cross the finish line at the Clayton County Sheriff’s Office, where we’ll celebrate every runner and walker—because here, every step matters.

Whether you’re a seasoned runner, a supportive friend, or a family showing up for a loved one on the spectrum, this event is for everyone. Let’s raise awareness, promote understanding, and build a healthier, more inclusive community—together.

💧 Water stations will be available throughout the course.

🎉 High energy. Big purpose. Even bigger heart.

Join us for Sheriff Levon Allen’s 5K for Autism—and let’s run, walk, and cheer for awareness, inclusion, and connection between law enforcement and the autism community.
