About the race
The Autism Society - The Heartland hosts its annual 5K and 1K fun run on April 17, 2027 at Aspiria (former Sprint Campus) in Overland Park, Kansas. The event is presented as a run/walk and will proceed in all weather unless the race director determines conditions are unsafe, in which case the event will be cancelled; no refunds are available.
Race options include:
- 5K
- 1K
Registered in-person 5K participants receive chip timing. All in-person finishers of the 5K and 1K receive a finisher's medal. Participants may order event t-shirts separately from the race registration fees.
A vendor and resource fair is held at the finish area to showcase organizations that offer services and support for families affected by autism. Exhibitor registration includes one six-foot table and two folding chairs, and exhibitors receive information on table location in advance.
Published registration fees in the event materials are $32 for the 5K in-person entry, $20 for the 1K in-person entry, $75 for a resource fair exhibitor, and a free participant category for children five years old and under; children in that category may participate in either distance and are not timed.
