Jasmine's Autism 5K Run
Jasmine's Autism 5K Run is a community chip timed 3.1 mile event in Atlanta hosted by JCole Advocacy, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on autism awareness, inclusion, and community empowerment in the Atlanta metro area. The event is open to walkers, runners, families, caregivers, neurodivergent individuals, and allies. Registrations fund the host organization and its program work.
Participants receive a timing chip at packet pickup and final results are posted after the event. There are no age divisions or category awards listed. The event is scheduled to proceed rain or shine and there is no rain date.
On the same day a Sensory Discovery Zone provides a free interactive experience for attendees of all ages and abilities. That space is designed to be welcoming for both neurotypical and neurodivergent visitors and is available before, during, and after the walk or run with no registration required.
Every registration directly supports three JCole Advocacy initiatives: ECHO, which provides communication tablets and assistive software for non verbal adults who have aged out of the school system; CARE, which offers community education, sensory friendly events, and outreach for educators, clinicians, and families; and REACH, which supplies direct financial assistance and resource navigation for autism families in need.
