Mother's Day Weekend Autism Awareness 5K-10K Run/Walk
The Mother's Day Weekend Autism Awareness 5K-10K Run/Walk is an event held in Van Nuys, California, at Woodley Park Section 1. Organized by PACE RUN for a Cause, a non-profit organization, the event aims to show support for children and adults on the autism spectrum. The proceeds and fundraising efforts contribute to programs for individuals with developmental disabilities, including behavior disorders and Down Syndrome.
Participants can choose from several event categories:
- Adults 5K
- Kids 5K
- Adults 10K
- Kids 10K
- 1K
The in-person race features chip timing for all runners. Participants receive a custom PACE finisher medal, a race day t-shirt, a reusable swag bag with various items, and post-race refreshments. Awards are presented to the top three male and top three female finishers in both the 5K and 10K distances.
In addition to the running events, the venue provides family-oriented entertainment, including a live DJ, a bounce house, a kid-themed art station, and food trucks. For those unable to attend the physical location, a virtual option is available, allowing participants to complete their run on a route of their choosing. Virtual registrants receive a race bib and finisher medal by mail. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
