Join us for our debut LOOP Run, a special sensory-friendly and accessible event! Together with Centra Autism Center, we will provide an inclusive environment for children of all abilities to participate in this exciting new race. Participants are encouraged to complete this ΒΌ mile event in the way that best meets their needs, including running, walking, or assistive devices. Each participant may have one support person accompany them on the racecourse.
We are looking for volunteers for this event to line the racecourse, keeping our runners safe and motivated, and to hand out souvenir awards in the Finishers Circle. Additionally, after the race we will have our Everyone is Special Family Fun Day in the museum, where volunteers have the opportunity to stay and assist in our Easter Egg Hunt and staff the trade-in area where kids will trade eggs for a prize.
Come experience the joy of moving together in a supportive environment designed for all abilities. Let's make this a day to remember together!
