EVENT DETAILS

Presented By

Our runners, sponsors and the autism community deserve the best event possible. Due to a challenge with scheduling of police officers to safely close the city streets in which the run takes place on, we are needing to move the date of the Run from November to January 20, 2024. The Run will still look and feel the same and be at Sugar Land Town Square, just with a NEW date. It is of the utmost priority to Autism Speaks to ensure the event is as safe as possible for all runners and attendees and the new date allows for that.

Join us by running or walking the Autism Speaks Houston 8K/5K/1K on January 20, at Sugar Land Town Square or wherever you are, to show your support for people with autism. Your fundraising efforts will empower our work to promote solutions for the needs of people with autism and their families — including those in urgent need of resources right now — and fuel our continued commitment to create a kinder, more inclusive world for people with autism.

Every registered participant will recieve a commemorative event shirt and finisher medal to show off your accomplishment and support for a kinder world.

As an added bonus on race day, all runners who raise $100 or more will receive access to our VIP area. What is the VIP area you may ask? It's a special place on race day for our sponsors and fundraisers to visit and receive VIP treatment. We will have special snacks, craft beer, fun activities and more! You won't want to miss out on this race morning!

Whether at Sugar Land Town Square, around your neighborhood, on a treadmill or in your local park, we look forward to seeing our community come together to support the autism community.

Registration will close at 11:59 PM on Wednesday, January 17.
