About Run for Autism

Run towards understanding and acceptance this October.

Did you know? Because the world is not autism-friendly, 70% of Autistic people in Australia experience mental health issues. By running 70km in October, you’ll help initiate positive change so those on the autism spectrum feel accepted and understood.

Studies suggest that running benefits both physical health and emotional wellbeing, and this year, we want you to Run for Autism your way.

Whether you run 35kms, 70kms, or 140k this October, the funds you raise will help support Autistic Australians and their families at all life stages.

Go solo, or get your friends, family, and colleagues on board and run it out together in a team. The choice is yours! 

Sign up now and you will receive a free welcome pack, plus a pair of awesome Run for Autism socks.

To make it even more exciting, we’ve got a range of fundraising rewards, prizes, and badges up for grabs. Plus, you’ll have the chance to reveal seven unique stories on your star map as you log your steps and climb through the fundraising tiers.

Raise $100, and you'll earn an amazing Run for Autism singlet to wear with pride as you step out and show your support
Raise $250, and you’ll receive an exclusive SILVER badge!
Raise $1,000 to join the ranks of our exclusive Runners of Fame club and be rewarded with amazing VIP benefits

By taking part in Run for Autism, you will help pave the way for a more inclusive world where every Autistic person can thrive.
