Every Step Counts Autism Walk & 5K Run 

Benefiting the Autism Society of Maryland

Dates: Saturday, October 4, 2025

Time: 9:00am - 12:00pm

Location: Centennial Park, 10000 Clarksville Pike Ellicott City, MD

Each year, the Autism Society of Maryland’s (AUSOM’s) Every Step Counts Autism Walk & 5K Run brings together individuals and families touched by Autism and the broader community for a day of connection, compassion and celebration.

This year, on Saturday, October 4, 2025, we are proud to continue this tradition with a 5K Run, 4K Walk or 1K Stroll – all set in a SUPERHERO-themed atmosphere! Guests will enjoy family-friendly fun including inflatables, roving performers, bubble and balloon artists and costumed characters. It’s a day of joy and unity, with strong support from local sponsors, elected officials and community partners.

Join us! Together we are #AutismStrongMD. The goal is to raise $100,000 toward programs and services for the local Autism community that is more than 15,000 strong! Funds raised will directly support AUSOM’s free programs and services – including support groups, education, advocacy, social events, and advocacy – offered throughout the year.

Register today!


Kids under the age of 11 can walk or run for FREE but registration is required to receive a t-shirt.
