About us

Raising awareness, one step at a time

At the heart of the Byrd and Bear 5k is a passionate community dedicated to shining a light on autism awareness. Born from a shared vision in 2022, our event has quickly grown into a beacon of hope and unity.

Our mission is simple: to bring people together in support of a brighter future for those on the autism spectrum. Through every step, sprint, and cheer, we're making a difference—one race at a time. Join us in our journey towards understanding, acceptance, and celebration.

Our Results

What we have accompished

Last year, we set big standards by having over 70 participants and raising over $25,000. The Byrd and Bear 5k did not only lead to a fundraising goal to help autistic children, but also brought a sense of community and enthusiasm to all that participated.
