New here? You're in the right place!
Every person and their experience with autism is unique — That’s exactly why the ASCV 5K & Family Fun Day is designed to meet people where they are. There’s no right or wrong way to participate. Some people run. Others walk. Some families take their time exploring the Resource Fair, Safety Fair, or Family Fun Zone. Choose your own adventure, and have fun doing it!

For over 40 years, the Autism Society of Central Virginia (ASCV) has been a trusted resource for education, advocacy, and support for those impacted by autism — whether that's individuals, families, or professionals.
This year’s 5K takes place during an exciting season of growth for ASCV, as we work toward creating a new community hub for autistic individuals and families in Central Virginia. Through team fundraising, you're helping make possible year-round programs, community trainings, and support that strengthens connection and understanding for autistic individuals and families.
