Whatever your ability, lace up for the "All in for Autism" 10K or 5K race, or non-competitive half-mile Kids' Dash, on April 24. Proceeds from the event, hosted by the Bellevue Breakfast Rotary Club, will go toward the Autism Center at Seattle Children's Hospital, Bellevue's Kindering Center and the City of Bellevue's Youth Camp Scholarship fund.
Traffic on adjacent streets and surrounding neighborhoods will be impacted during the event. Detours and road closure signs will be in place. Please plan accordingly and schedule trips to avoid conflicts with the race routes. More event details:
