About the race
The Triangle Run Walk for Autism is a community fundraising event presented by the Autism Society of NC on October 10, 2026, at Halifax Mall in downtown Raleigh. The event raises money to support local programs that serve children and adults with autism and to educate communities about autism.
The event program includes multiple running and walking options:
- 5K Competitive Race
- 5K Non-Competitive Run
- 1 Mile Awareness Walk
Early Bird registration is available through Thursday, September 10 for a $30 fee; that option includes a Run/Walk t-shirt in the entrant's size and a chance to win a $50 Amazon gift card. After September 10, registration continues through Wednesday, October 7 for a $40 fee, with a Run/Walk t-shirt provided while supplies last. Awards are presented for the 5K and for top fundraising individuals and teams.
The event page lists a fundraising goal of $200,000 and shows progress toward that goal. The event description also notes a prevalence statistic about autism to contextualize the need for local services. The format combines timed competition and an awareness walk to accommodate different participation goals. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
