About Cycle for Autism
The Cycle for Autism Edmonton is your chance to make a difference in the lives of thousands of people affected by autism in the Edmonton Region. Autism affects children adults and families of all racial, ethnic and social backgrounds. Twenty years ago, autism affected one in 10,000. Today, Autism Society of Canada reports that autism affects one in 110 children. Autism is at epidemic proportions, and with no cure, children with autism become adults with autism.
Join us in supporting the Autism Society of Edmonton Area, a local organization that has been helping communities, families and individuals to create rich meaningful lives for kids and adults for over 40 years. The event is going to be a lot of fun, with activities and games for the whole family, and cake and snacks for everyone. Best of all, all funds raised will stay in this community!
A Route For Everyone!
Cycle, scooter, run or walk - it's up to you. Route options are available to suite your preference and level of expertise.
Easy Route - 1.2 km
For those looking to take the easier route, the park offers a barrier-free paved asphalt path for those who choose to either bike/run/scooter or walk.
Intermediate Route - 7 km
For more of a challenge, intermediate riders will be able to challenge the designated off-road bike trails that skirt the park. This route will be marked and supported by official ride Marshalls to ensure that everyone stays safe and on course!
Fun for All!
You will be able to visit the Resource Fair and take part in various other family-friendly activities hosted by the Autism Society. Light refreshments will be served, including BBQ hot dogs and gluten-free, casein-free items for those with sensitivities.
