New this year!

Join us at the Columbus Zoo on Saturday, April 27th, for a new way to OutRun Autism as we bring you OutRun Autism: Blue at the Zoo. We've got a few options for you to choose from on event day. First, there will be the unlimited participation Zoo Family Walk. And second, if you would like to join the Make It Fit Foundation for a day at the Columbus Zoo but don't want to walk, there is an ability to purchase a discounted Make It Fit zoo ticket only (includes parking, but not access to the Blue at the Zoo activities). The fifth annual OutRun Autism is again being put on to support autism programs and services that directly benefit families in the state of Ohio through the Make It Fit Foundation.

About the Make It Fit Foundation

The Make It Fit Foundation is dedicated to improving the lives of those affected by autism. Our mission is to develop and maintain a community of caring, unified, and knowledgeable individuals dedicated to raising money for autism research, treatment, advocacy, education, and family services until there’s an end to autism as we know it.

Make It Fit is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Columbus, Ohio. Our name is indicative of our main goals. The puzzle piece has become the symbol for autism awareness; a representation of the puzzle that autism has become. Make It Fit aspires to “fit” the missing pieces together to help bring about more research, better treatment, and someday hopefully a cure for autism.
