Shine On 5K

Tifton , GA

Join us on Saturday, April 4, 2026, for the Shine On 5K + Fun Run: Running Toward a Brighter Future!

This uplifting event kicks off our Autism Acceptance Celebration and invites runners, walkers, families, and friends of all abilities to come together in support of Kalos Academy’s Building Campaign. Our mission is to raise $2.5 million to build a dedicated school for children with autism and other learning differences.

Race Options:

  • 5K Race – For experienced runners ready to shine their brightest on a certified course. Custom race shirt included. 8am start

  • Fun Run/Walk – A disability-inclusive and family-friendly run/walk designed for all ages and abilities. Everyone is welcome. Strollers, wheelchairs, and assistive devices included! Entrants have the option of purchasing a shirt for $10 at registration. 9am start. This event is untimed. The FR is a half mile course that also finishes where the 5K finishes. Participants may "cut the course" if they are not up to the full distance. Medals will be awarded to Fun Run finishers

Why We Run:

Every step taken helps us move closer to building a school where exceptional minds can flourish. At Kalos Academy, we’re dedicated to creating an environment that meets each student’s individual academic and therapeutic needs, empowering them to grow in confidence, independence, and purpose.

So lace up your shoes, bring your brightest colors, and join us as we run toward a brighter future for all learners!
