The race will begin and end at New Balance (128 Main Street), with the course running through downtown New Canaan. The 5k course is open to runners and walkers and will begin at 6:00 PM. A quarter-mile kid’s race will also be held beginning at New Balance at 6:15 PM. Awards and festivities will take place following the race.
The All Out for Autism event was created by New Balance owners Ron and Tina Rosenfeld, who were surprised and inspired by the number of individuals with Autism who came into their store. The goal of the event is to raise awareness of Autism within our community. 1 in 150 children is diagnosed with Autism, and it is currently the fastest-growing serious developmental disability in the United States.
