Sean’s Run from Autism, the annual 5K walk/run and 10K run, benefitting Autism Research and Resources of Oregon, is now open for Pre-registration via our online registration at http://signmeup.seansrun.org !
About ARROAutism
Autism Research and Resources of Oregon (ARROAutism) is a not-for-profit organization supporting individuals and families with Autism. Our goal is to nurture families with Autism by providing a center of resources. Historically, families have had to search high and low for services. We aim to change that by bringing resources together in one space.
Today, that center exists as a first of its kind Autism Community Center on 170th Avenue in Beaverton. Our Westside Family and Community Center is open to all to rent and use for special events, and is also the site of a wide variety of Autism community social events, informational lectures, and various meetings.
Sean’s Run
Our 2013 Sean’s Run from Autism is an out and back event with three categories, all of which begin and end at Historic Oak’s Park.
-
10K Run
- The signature 10K run, (inspired and run by Sean – wearing bib number 001) begins at Oak’s Park, heads south on Oak’s Park Way, turns at Spokane Street to head North on the SpringWater trail, continues on the paved path, turns around near the milepost 1 marker (South of the Ross Island Bridge), and then returns along the same outbound path finishing where the race started at Oak’s Park.
- Volunteers and water will be stationed at the 5K and 10K turnaround points. Due to time constraints we ask that the 10K route only be used by runners who are confident that they can complete the course in less than 1 hour and 45 minutes.

5K Run
- The 5K Run begins at Oak’s Park, heads south on Oak’s Park Way, turns at Spokane Street to head North on the SpringWater trail, continues on the paved path, turns around near the Oak’s Bottom Trail entrance, and then returns along the same outbound path finishing where the race started at Oak’s Park.
