Each year, the Autism Society of Howard County’s Every Step Counts Autism Walk & 5K Run brings together those touched by Autism and members of the wider community in a supportive, energizing, and fun environment. This year’s event on October 7, 2023 at 9:00am continues that tradition, featuring a 5K run and a 4K walk around Centennial Lake in Ellicott City, MD, with the option of a more mellow 1K stroll. Attendees can take in the family-friendly Event Village that includes inflatables, entertainment by roving circus performers, bubble and balloon artists, and costumed characters! Registration is now open and includes virtual and non-binary options plus great prizes for top teams and runners. All proceeds benefit the Autism Society, now serving communities in and around Howard, Montgomery and Anne Arundel Counties.
