Unleash Your Inner Superhero at this Super-Powered Community Celebration!

Last year’s Every Step Counts Walk & 5K was truly a superpowered success. Nearly 1,000 participants came together to celebrate inclusion, connection, and the strength of Maryland’s autism community—and the Superhero theme brought extra joy, energy, and excitement to the day.

From creative costumes and capes to cheers at the finish line, the superhero celebration reminded us that heroes come in all forms. The overwhelming support from families, teams, sponsors, volunteers, and supporters made the event unforgettable and helped fuel programs and services that support autistic individuals and their families across Maryland.

Because of the incredible response and community excitement, we’re bringing the Superheroes back again this year as we celebrate a very special milestone—AUSOM’s 20th anniversary. This year’s walk will honor two decades of advocacy, support, and community, and we can’t wait to celebrate together in superhero style.
