NECC 5K Walk/Run for Autism Information

Held annually since 2007, the NECC 5K Walk/Run for Autism brings together NECC students, families, and local community members for a day of food and fun at the Neary Elementary School in Southborough, MA. Participants complete their 5K in the surrounding neighborhoods before returning to the school for a cookout. Since its creation, the event has raised nearly $3 million thanks to participants, generous donors, and sponsors. 

The 18th Annual NECC Walk/Run for Autism was our best yet!

On May 11, 2024, over 1,000 students, staff, family, and friends of NECC helped to raise nearly $324,000 for NECC’s Annual Fund, which supports student activities, specialized equipment and technology, vocational opportunities, professional development, and research. A huge thank you to our sponsors, including our presenting sponsor, BJ’s Wholesale Club, for helping make this year’s event so incredible. 

We look forward to seeing you in 2025! Save the Date:
