Lace up for an inspiring and inclusive experience at the Uniquely Autism 5K & Fun Walk, returning for its second annual event on Saturday, April 4, 2026, in Port St. Lucie, Florida! Held at the picturesque Tradition Square, this family-friendly gathering celebrates neurodiversity and champions the autism community. Runners can choose between a chip-timed 5K run/walk or a leisurely 1-mile fun walk that loops around a beautiful lake, with a special Kids Dash held on the grass in Tradition Square for the youngest participants. Strollers are welcome on the course, ensuring everyone can join in the fun.

The Uniquely Autism 5K is more than just a race; it's a vibrant community event designed to raise awareness and vital funds, with proceeds for the 2026 event benefiting Surfers for Autism. Participants in the 5K and 1-mile events will receive a finisher's medal and a t-shirt, while 5K runners will compete for awards across various age groups, including overall and masters categories. With typical race day conditions boasting highs around 81F and lows around 64F and only a 10% chance of rain, it’s ideal weather for a fantastic morning of movement and community spirit.

Beyond the distances, the event fosters an engaging atmosphere with vendors offering valuable resources for families with children on the autism spectrum. Expect a supportive environment complete with aid stations to keep you hydrated on the course. The Uniquely Autism 5K offers a truly heartwarming and purposeful race experience, inviting all to make a difference one step at a time.
