About Bailey’s Team for Autism...

Bailey's Team for Autism is a regional non-profit organization raising funds and awareness in support of individuals living with autism spectrum disorders and their families. Founded in 2001 and incorporated in 2008, we have raised over $1.3 million contributing over 90% of all funds raised with a focus on programming, education, and research. We have supported projects nationwide, but our concentration is in New England - more specifically, Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

About the Run...

Our 5k is a professionally measured and USATF Certified fast, flat course and encourages good race time! It starts and finishes on Payson Road will continue left onto Chestnut Street then onto Mechanic Street and up Baker returning to Chestnut and Payson Road back at the start.

About the Walk...

The WALK route is 1 mile from the run start on Payson Road. Participation is FREE but registration is required (there is a fee if you want an event t-shirt - please see below)! You may register on site where ALL walkers will be required to sign a waiver (adults must sign on behalf of their child). We do not encourage walkers to follow the 5k run route as we will not have all safety precautions and police officers stationed for more than one hour along the route. Also, we will be well into our after-party at Conrads, as a result, we encourage you to "run the run," or “walk the [1 mile] walk."

Who gets a T-Shirt?

T-Shirts are FREE and guaranteed to the first 200 registered RUNNERS

We encourage you to help support Bailey's Team for Autism by fundraising and this site makes it very easy!

This event is sponsored by the Friends Of Norwood SEPAC and ABL Fitness to raise acceptance and awareness for individuals with disabilities to make Norwood an accepting, inclusive and accessible community!

ABL Fitness is a nonprofit fitness clinic that empowers kids, teens and adults with disabilities specializing in neurodiversity by combining movement, sensory regulation, and individualized coaching to build confidence, connection, and lifelong physical, social, and emotional strength. Their mission is to create a safe, welcoming space where every athlete is presumed capable, supported through personalized strategies, and celebrated for who they are. Through trust, connection, and adaptive fitness, they help individuals break barriers, foster independence, and realize their full potential.

Friends of Norwood SEPAC is the nonprofit arm of the Norwood Special Education Parents Advisory Council (SEPAC) that supports the mission to build understanding, respect, and support for children with special needs in Norwood by fostering parent networking, advising the district on special education programs, promoting communication and inclusion, and offering informational forums and resources to families.
