Autism Shero Run 5K/10K

Lace up for a meaningful and memorable experience at the Autism Shero Run 5K/10K, taking place on May 9, 2026, in Van Nuys, California. This inspiring event welcomes participants of all ages and abilities to run, walk, or roll through the scenic Woodley Park at Lake Balboa. Beyond the 5K and 10K distances, a free 1K Kids Fun Run ensures a family-friendly atmosphere, with virtual participation options also available for those who can't make it in person. Typical race day conditions in early May offer pleasant running weather, with highs around 79°F and lows around 55°F, and a minimal chance of precipitation.

The Autism Shero Run is more than just a race; it's a powerful statement of support for individuals on the autism spectrum, organized by PACE Run for a Cause, a dedicated 501(c)(3) non-profit. Your participation directly contributes to creating a more inclusive world, and your registration is 100% tax-deductible. The course through Woodley Park offers a picturesque setting for your efforts, culminating in a festive post-race celebration.

The finish line isn't the end of the excitement. Runners can look forward to a vibrant atmosphere featuring a live DJ, an energizing warm-up led by celebrity trainer Kanika, a bounce house for kids, and a fun art station. All participants receive a custom finisher medal, a race day t-shirt, and a reusable swag bag filled with goodies, plus post-race munchies. The Autism Shero Run promises a rewarding and inclusive day out, celebrating community and championing a vital cause.
