Team Mary: 5k Run/Walk for Autism
Team Mary: 5k Run/Walk for Autism is a community event held on September 20, 2026, at Gem Beach in Port Clinton, Ohio. The course begins at the park area by Gem Beach, winds through the subdivision, and returns to Gem Beach on Lake Erie where refreshments and an award ceremony take place. The event format is a 5K run/walk.
Proceeds support children with special needs and their families through the summer camp program at ARC of Ottawa County. Past fundraising has also supported an all inclusive playground at Lakeview Park and a prom event for people with special needs. Registration information notes that pre-registration by September 13 provides a free race shirt and a reduced entry fee of $25. Registration opens July 7 and closes September 13, 2026.
The event is presented in the Gem Beach neighborhood near 3000 North Carolina St., Gem Beach Marina, Port Clinton, OH 43452. The event name reflects a focus on community support for children with autism and related needs rather than competitive results. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
