About the Event

"Every Step Counts 5K"

Join us for the Every Step Counts 5K, a walk/run meaningful community event dedicated to raising funds and awareness for children with autism and special needs. This year, we are proud to partner with Smart Start, a trusted local organization committed to strengthening early childhood development and support systems within our community.

Our mission is simple yet powerful: to provide an incredible 5K experience that highlights the importance of care, inclusion, and community support, while raising essential funds to help children and families throughout Wilmington and the surrounding areas.

This event is more than just a race. It’s a day to come together as a community and make a difference. Bring your family and friends to enjoy:

Live kid and family friendly entertainment and music
Refreshments
A fun, family-friendly atmosphere
Opportunities to connect, bond, and unite for a meaningful cause
Most importantly, Every Step Counts is a chance to support local children, promote health and wellness, and spend a positive, uplifting day in Wilmington.

Together, we can take steps that truly make a difference.

See you there!
