20th Annual Georgia Race for Autism & Fall Festival
Join us on Saturday, October 3, 2026, at the Gwinnett County Fairgrounds in Lawrenceville, Georgia, for the 20th Annual Georgia Race for Autism & Fall Festival—Spectrum Autism Support Group's largest fundraising event of the year!
Every dollar raised helps Spectrum continue providing life-changing programs, services, camps, clubs, support groups, and educational opportunities for individuals with autism and their families. Last year, thanks to the generosity of our runners, sponsors, vendors, volunteers, and community supporters, we raised more than $125,000 to support our mission.
