Snohomish home owners Run to Pieces to help children with autism.Step by step Snohomish home owners help kids with Autism. Lace up your running shoes and head to Willis Tucker Park on April 8th at 9:30 a.m. for the 3rd annual Run to Pieces in support of Autism. The 5k chip timed run and/or walk is planned for the day to raise funds for Autism research and awareness. The park’s amphitheater sets the scene for the starting point and finish line. A course of three miles contains uphill and downhill terrain designed to keep things interesting.

Little joggers living in Snohomish can stretch their legs too. The Kids Dash is perfect for youngsters to get into the spirit of things and have some fun. Their turn on the track is scheduled for 10:45 a.m.

A lively yet gentle vibe will surround the race. Music sensitive to special needs children will be playing on the stage sound system. Racers with strollers are more than welcome to participate, but are asked to stay to the left of the racing path.

Autism spectrum disorder affects roughly 1 out of 70 children. Most families living in a Snohomish home know someone or of someone that is touched by this disease. Reach out and support the autism community, and feel great knowing that you are helping a child in need. Proceeds gathered during the 5K benefit UW Autism Center's Family Scholarship Fund. This worthwhile organization maintains a mission of assisting families in obtaining an official diagnosis.

Register online or earlier on race day in person. Get ready to Run to Pieces.
