On Saturday, September 14th, the Autism Society of North Carolina (ASNC) will hold its 8th annual Western NC Run/Walk for Autism. Runners and walkers of all ages participate in this event, which will be held at UNC-Asheville from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. The WNC Run/Walk for Autism is part of the Asheville Track Club Grand Prix Series and is USATF-certified. It includes a challenging 5K race, a 5K non-competitive run, and a recreational 1K run/walk. The event will also feature a family-friendly festival with a fun zone, refreshments, and vendor space where businesses, service providers, local support resources, and sponsors will be showcased. Proceeds from this event go to support individuals on the autism spectrum and their families throughout the WNC community. All money raised by the Autism Society of North Carolina stays in North Carolina providing support and promoting opportunities for the over 60,000 people in our state affected by Autism Spectrum Disorder. Last year’s race raised over $45,000 as more than 500 runners, 150 volunteers, and a variety of businesses participated to improve the lives of those affected by autism.
