Event details

Help solve the puzzle one step at a time with the family fun run/ walk in the heart of the historic city of Marietta, Ohio. All proceeds will be donated to the National Autism Association of Southeast Ohio. Autism is the fastest growing developmental disorder affecting 1-36 children born today. The autism association of Southeast Ohio is a non-profit organization that helps families get their children the tools and resources they need. This event is being sponsored by Washington Electric Cooperative, along with several other local businesses. With all of these wonderful sponsors and running participants making this event possible, our goal, along with providing local families with resources is to promote kindness and awareness towards autism. “Autism is not a disability. It’s a different ability” - Stuart Duncan

 

Local author, Amanda Myers, who published the book “The Brain of a Legend,” will be holding a book signing at the race. Come out and purchase your copy of this amazing book and meet the author.
