Run the River: 42 Miles to Support Autism Programs
Join Autism Outdoors Utah as we run the entire Jordan River Trail to raise funds for organizations creating inclusive spaces for autistic individuals and their families.
Why We’re Running
On March 16, 2026, Autism Outdoors Utah founders, Damon and Tarah Bryan, (along with their son, Fletcher, in an adaptive stroller) will run all 42 miles of the Jordan River Trail—from its northern trailhead to its southern end—to raise $4,200 for autism community organizations. That’s $100 per mile supporting Utah Parent Center and The Motley Squad, two incredible groups working to create connection, advocacy, and fun for autistic individuals and their families. Want to join us for a stretch? Let us know—we’d love the company!
Where Your Money Goes
Every dollar raised goes directly to organizations building the kind of inclusive community we believe in. Utah Parent Center provides training, information, and support to families navigating systems and advocating for their children. The Motley Squad creates social connection through activities designed for autistic teens and young adults. Together, these organizations are breaking down barriers and fostering belonging—and we’re honored to run for them.
