The Run for Autism takes place in Fort Smith, Arkansas, and raises money for The Griffin Promise Autism Center. The day brings together an 8K, a 5K, and a 1 mile fun run, all setting out from 70 S 7th St in the city centre. The event is as much a resource gathering as a race, shining a light on therapy, co-ops, and community support for neurodiverse people across the River Valley. Funds raised go towards relationship based, affirming care, and the organisers invite runners of every pace to take part and celebrate every unique mind.

Other questions
It is an inaugural charity running event in Fort Smith, Arkansas, that combines an 8K, a 5K and a 1 mile fun run with a resource morning for the local neurodiverse community. All fundraising supports The Griffin Promise Autism Center and its relationship based, affirming care.
There are three options: the Run for Autism 8K, the Run for Autism 5K and the 1 mile fun run. The 1 mile fun run is the most relaxed option and is well suited to families and younger runners.
Proceeds support The Griffin Promise Autism Center, which provides therapy, co-ops and yearly events for neurodiverse people and their families in the River Valley area of Arkansas.
The 1 mile fun run is designed as a family friendly outing, and the wider resource event is built around community, so children and supporters are welcome on the day.
The shorter distances, particularly the 1 mile fun run, are friendly to walkers and those taking a gentler pace. If you plan to walk the 8K or 5K, let the organisers know so they can manage the course closing times.
