Run Flutie
Join the Run Flutie movement!
Our running brand at the Flutie Foundation, Run Flutie, is a brand dedicated to making a positive impact on the autism community through running. At Run Flutie, we believe that running is more than just a form of exercise – it can be a way to connect with others, raise critical funds, and help people with autism pursue their passions. Our program is comprised of three key parts: our Flutie 5K for Autism, Dougie’s Team for Autism, and the Adaptive Program for Autistic Runners. Each of these initiatives serves a unique purpose, but all share the same goal of making a difference in the lives of those affected by autism. Join us as we explore the power of running and its ability to create change within the autism community.
