ACEing Autism Racquet Run
April 11 - 25, 2021
(Two weeks to complete your miles!)
Raise a Racquet for ACEing Autism!
The ACEing Autism 2021 Racquet Run will start on Sunday, April 11 and run through Sunday, April 25, 2021. The goal of the ACEing Autism #RacquetRun is for participants—including children involved with an ACEing Autism program and their siblings, family members, friends, volunteers, running enthusiasts, and anyone interested in improving their fitness—to run, jog, or walk over the two-week Racquet Run period while holding a tennis racquet!
Here is where it gets interesting: registered Racquet Run participants will be running for the ACEing Autism program location closest to their home (see program locations here: https://aceingautism.org/locations/)!
Racquet Runners from the top three program sites by distance completed (in miles*) will receive an ACEing Autism prize package! ALL Racquet Run participants from program locations that reach 54 miles—1 in 54 is the present autism diagnosis rate in the U.S.—will receive a special token from ACEing Autism.
The ACEing Autism Racquet Run aims to:
- Raise the funds needed to keep program enrollment at a low or no cost to participants through a scholarship fund.
- Hold trainings for new and returning volunteers to ensure clinics are carried out at a consistently high-quality level.
- Generate program awareness to attract new families, volunteers and create new program locations!
*Participants MUST register (just once) using this form for their distances (from anywhere!) to count toward their city/town’s total. Racquet Run participants may submit via Google Form as many entries from runs, jogs, or walks over the two-week period.
