About Go the Distance

Whether you’re cycling 3, 10, or 15 miles, running, or walking, we are all Going the Distance together on Sunday, June 1, 2025, to help change the lives of individuals with autism.

We are gearing up to Go the Distance with you this year! We Go the Distance because New Jersey has one of the highest rates of autism in the nation. We Go the Distance to raise essential funds for the Alpine Learning Group Foundation, the EPIC Foundation, and the REED Foundation for Autism. Together, we're supporting three leading programs on the forefront of autism care and services in Northern New Jersey. We Go the Distance so that individuals with autism and their families can have a brighter future.

Any distance makes a difference! We need your support now more than ever. Are you ready?

WHY WE GO THE DISTANCE

Autism is the fastest-growing developmental disorder, yet it remains vastly underfunded. According to the CDC, reported rates of children identified with autism spectrum disorder has continued to rise. In the US, the rate of autism is 1 in 31; while in New Jersey, a recent study estimates that 1 in 29 children is on the spectrum -- one of the highest rates in the nation.

Over the past 16 years, thousands of people in Northern New Jersey and beyond have raised nearly $8 million in support of these pre-eminent educational and treatment programs. Help us continue our good work!
