Unique Abilities 5K Run/Walk
The Unique Abilities 5K is a community run/walk hosted by Preston's Path Foundation that supports Autism Acceptance and inclusion. The event is scheduled for May 2, 2026 in Southampton, New York, with the course starting and finishing at Cooper's Beach. Registration is not yet open.
The route covers a 3.1 mile distance and follows local roads: it proceeds from Cooper's Beach onto Meadow Lane, First Neck Lane, Great Plains Road, Captains Neck Lane, Boyeson Road, Halsey Neck Lane, returns to Meadow Lane, and finishes back at Cooper's Beach. Dogs and bicycles are not allowed on the race course. Participants using strollers are asked to start at the back of the field.
Event amenities include finisher medals, water stations on the route, a food and refreshment table, music, live timing with text and email results, free finish line photos, and a kids fun run. The first fifty registrants to arrive early will receive a t-shirt, with sizes not guaranteed. Participants who register at least three weeks in advance may receive a personalized bib.
Awards are given to the top three male and top three female overall finishers. The organizer plans to partner with an established nonprofit so a portion of proceeds can support existing autism programs and services as the event grows.
