Why RUN FOR AUTISM?

Impact. 87 cents of every dollar raised goes directly to research that improves the lives of those affected by autism.
 

Support. You will receive tremendous support from OAR! This includes, but is not limited to: Weekly emails with training tips and encouragement, a specially designed race singlet once you have raised $50, a fundraising guide and OAR fundraising materials.
 

Motivation. It’s sometimes easy to get discouraged when training for an athletic event. Having the support of the entire OAR running network will help keep you enthusiastic and on track, even if your race is months away.
 

Connection. Be part of a group that cares deeply about autism research and using fitness for good.
