VIA - 2023 Run / Walk for Autism

Saturday, April 15 2023 at Charlottesville High School Directions

Description

The annual Run/Walk for Autism 5K is hosted at Charlottesville High School! All fitness and mobility levels are welcome to log some miles in support of those with autism. The ¼ mile Kids’ Race (ages 3-12) begins at 7:30am, and the 5K will follow at 8:00am.

5K Course

The 5K course is on pavement through a neighborhood, so wheelchairs and strollers are welcome. Sorry, no dogs.
