2026 Autism Race

The 2026 Autism Race is an inspiring initiative that brings together individuals with autism and non-disabled runners to foster understanding and respect for diversity. This meaningful event aims to support the healthy lives and independence of people with autism and their families, with all entry fees directly funding these efforts.
Participants can choose between two options: join in person at Peace Plaza within World Cup Park in Sangam or participate virtually from any location that suits them best. The offline race offers three course lengths—half marathon (21 km), 10 kilometers, and a shorter 4.2-kilometer run—all starting promptly on Saturday, October 31, 2026. Runners must finish by the designated time of 11:50 a.m., ensuring an organized start order that begins with the half marathon runners followed by those in the 10 km and 4.2 km categories.
All participants receive official T-shirts and bib numbers prior to race day, which they are required to wear during the event for identification purposes. Runners with developmental disabilities can participate free of charge upon presentation of a disability card at registration.
The virtual option allows runners to complete their chosen distance on any date leading up to or including October 31, providing flexibility and accessibility to those who cannot attend in person. Proof of completion must be submitted online for verification.
Whether running through the scenic Peace Plaza or logging miles from home, participants are part of a larger community effort dedicated to raising awareness about autism and promoting inclusivity. Join this special event on October 31, 2026, to support an important cause while enjoying a memorable day out with fellow runners.
The atmosphere at the race is vibrant and supportive, encouraging all levels of participants to come together for a shared goal. Whether you're tackling one of the challenging courses or joining in spirit from afar, your contribution helps make a difference in the lives of those affected by autism.
