Barnett Shoals Elementary School Autism Awareness 5K

The Barnett Shoals Elementary School Autism Awareness 5K is a community event held in Athens, Georgia, to raise awareness and promote acceptance during Autism Awareness and Acceptance Month. The event follows the theme Light Up The Night and serves as a fundraiser where a portion of the proceeds supports students in the Adaptive Curriculum Program at Barnett Shoals Elementary School.

Participants can choose from two distinct athletic events:

  • 5K Run/Walk: A 3.1 mile glow run where participants are provided with glow sticks to carry during the race.
  • On Campus Fun Run: A course of unspecified distance designed for all ages that remains entirely within the school campus grounds.

The event takes place at the Barnett Shoals Elementary School campus. This gathering provides an opportunity for the community to participate in a fitness activity while contributing to educational resources for students with diverse learning needs. Registration for both the 5K and the fun run is open to the public, with varying fees for each distance. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
