Join us as we celebrate the 20th Annual Georgia Race for Autism & Fall Festival on Saturday, October 3, 2026, at the Gwinnett County Fairgrounds in Lawrenceville, Georgia! For two decades, this signature community event has brought together runners, families, businesses, volunteers, and supporters to celebrate inclusion while raising critical funds for individuals and families impacted by autism.
As Spectrum Autism Support Group's largest fundraiser of the year, every registration, sponsorship, vendor booth, volunteer, and donation directly supports our mission of providing support, education, and resources through camps, clubs, support groups, educational workshops, recreation programs, and family services. Last year, more than 3,000 attendees, including 712 runners, helped raise over $125,000 to strengthen these life-changing programs.
Whether you're a competitive runner, first-time participant, or simply looking for a fun family outing, there's something for everyone! The event features a USATF Certified & Peachtree Road Race Qualifying 5K, 1-Mile Fun Run, 100-Yard Dash, Tot Trot, and a lively Fall Festival with an Indoor Resource & Vendor Fair, silent auction, petting zoo, pony rides, inflatables, face painting, balloon art, hayrides, music, and more.
Registration is now open! Register early to guarantee your official race T-shirt. Whether you choose to run, volunteer, sponsor, reserve a vendor booth, or simply enjoy the festivities, you'll be making a difference in the lives of individuals and families impacted by autism. Join us on October 3 from 8:00 AM–12:00 PM as we celebrate 20 years of impact and our biggest fundraiser of the year.
A heartfelt thank you to our sponsors, participants, teams, volunteers, vendors, fundraisers, and community supporters who have made the Georgia Race for Autism a success over the past 20 years. We look forward to celebrating this milestone anniversary with you! Be sure to follow the Georgia Race for Autism Facebook page for event updates, announcements, and race-day information.
