Join our local community as we recognize Autism Acceptance Month at the Central New York Chapter of the Autism Society's annual "one step at a time" Autism Acceptance Walk!

When: Saturday, April 25, 2026

Where: Jamesville Beach Park

Time: 10:00am

How to participate: Join us for the Autism Acceptance Walk by creating a team with family, friends, coworkers, or classmates—or participate as an individual walker. The walk course is approximately one mile and is designed to be welcoming and accessible for all ages and abilities.

Participants are encouraged (but never required) to create a personal donation page to help support our community programs for individuals with autism. There is no registration fee, and fundraising is optional. Our primary goal is to come together to promote awareness, understanding, and acceptance of autism and related disorders throughout our community.

Funds raised through the Walk directly support collaborative programming, recreational opportunities, continuing education, and assistance for families seeking services and therapies.

Walk T‑shirts will be available for purchase on the day of the event for $5 while supplies last.

We look forward to walking together in support of acceptance and community—see you there!"

    ​The race offers two race distances, our 10 miler and 3 miler.

    10 miler: If you are a local CNY runner, you know about our own little backyard gem - Green Lakes. This race will take you through all the twists and turns of this beautiful park. The race starts at the sandy beach of Green Lakes and slowly winds its way around Round Lake and up towards, as the locals call it, the Serengeti. The race continues its way around the top before its descent to the lakes back to the beach.

    3 miler: Want to try your hand at trail racing; however, you want a shorter race distance? Test out racing around the 2 lakes! The race starts at the sandy beach of Green Lakes and slowly winds its way around round lake and back to the beach.

    *Considerations before registering. Pease wear the appropriate footwear, and note that there is potential for injury. When you register for the event you agree to release Miles & Macros, LLC, Sand to Serengeti, and all of it's affiliates of any liability.
