Description

Uprising: 5K Run & 1.36 Mile Walk for Autism and ID/D

Join us for The Uprising, a community-driven 5K run and 1.36-mile walk dedicated to raising awareness and support for individuals with autism and intellectual & developmental disabilities (ID/D). Hosted by EmpowerU Specialty Fitness in partnership with the Eagles Autism Foundation of West Chester University, this event is more than just a race—it’s a movement for inclusion, empowerment, and positive change.

The 1.36-mile walk is a powerful symbol, representing the 1 in 36 individuals born with autism each year. Every step we take together helps raise awareness, foster acceptance, and provide resources for individuals and families within the autism and ID/D community.

Event Highlights:
🏃 5K Run & 1.36 Mile Walk – Open to all ages and fitness levels!
🎉 Community Celebration – Enjoy music, resources, and a supportive atmosphere.
💙 Fundraising & Awareness – Every step supports programs that create opportunities for individuals with autism and ID/D.
