The SpectRUN is an Autism Sensory Friendly Event, which means the event is designed to be less sensory stimulating and overwhelming. To make it easier for individuals who have sensory sensitivities, such as those with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), we will modify loud sounds and will have a designated "quiet room" onsite.
