CHARITIES: Women of the Wasatch & Autism Council of Utah

07/30/2025

TWO CAUSES. BIGGER IMPACT. 💖💙 Your miles at Runtastic HEBER will now be making a difference for two meaningful charities and causes, right here in Utah.

Different causes. Same mission: to break down barriers and build a more inclusive community.

�🏔️ Women of the Wasatch is a local running community turned 501c3 nonprofit supporting ALL women. In addition to weekly meetups, they provide scholarships, resources, and childcare support to help women of all backgrounds feel empowered and included on the trails.

Support from WoW all weekend:
💖 Make a sign at their expo tent to cheer on your fav runners
💖 Get some glitter to ✨SHINE✨ before your race at the Half start line + get your hair braided from McCall & Maria from Amare
💖 Add some ✨SPARKLES✨ at their finish line tent before the All-Abilities 1/2 Mile
💖 Fuel up on high-fives & hydration as you fly through the WoW aid station cheer zones

🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏽‍♂️ WoW will also be leading the HEBER SHAKEOUT RUN — FRIDAY 8/1 at 5:30 PM
Meet at the *NEW* Race Expo location–Old Mill Elementary (at the HEBER Finish Line)
💖 All are invited to come run some miles, make new friends, and then pick up your race packet!

🦋 Autism Council of Utah is our second 501c3 nonprofit that was chosen by our community. ACU is a volunteer-run organization dedicated to connecting Utah families and agencies with autism resources, education, and support. Donations help fund programs, sensory tools for first responders, and vital services for those with autism.

Support from ACU all weekend:
🦋 Handing out resources & other items
🦋 Providing education
🦋 Answering questions

🦋 Honor someone with autism you are running for. Pick up a complimentary autism-themed medal, pin, shirt, or keychain from past years at HEBER (At the blue Runtastic Info tent, while supplies last)

MORE HEBER FUN:
💙 Cyndi from our Runtastic fam will be offering free face painting
💙 Our famous foam machine will be pumping out the bubbles & laughs

Whether you’re running Runtastic HEBER for a cause, a PR, or just for the love of it all, your miles will help to build a stronger community for us all.

We’ve heard from many of you, and we want to say this first: thank you for caring deeply about this race, what it stands for, and the community it serves. 💙

For several years, Runtastic HEBER has been more than just a race — it’s been a symbol of support, inclusion, and advocacy, especially for families affected by autism. It shaped this race into something more than miles, and we’re committed to honoring the community that built it.

This race means a lot to our family and many of your families that are likewise impacted by autism. Even as we grow to support more causes, please know that connection still matters deeply to us.�
The autism community will always be at the heart of this race. And while we’re expanding our impact, here’s how we’re continuing to honor and uplift that legacy:

🦋 The All-Abilities 1/2 Mile Run is here to stay — a race we’re proud to continue in celebration of runners of all ages and abilities.

🦋 A portion of each registration will continue to be donated to a local autism nonprofit. We’d love your input on where that donation goes. Please message or email us your suggestions.�
🦋 If you're running in honor of someone with autism, come visit us on race day to receive a complimentary autism-themed medal, pin, shirt, or keychain from past years (while supplies last) — to help celebrate your story and theirs.

We’re committed to learning, growing, and listening — and we always appreciate your feedback as we work to strengthen this community together.

While this year brings something new, the heart of this race remains the same, and we hope you’ll be part of it as we expand our impact together.

Let’s run for something powerful.
Let’s keep running with heart.

🎉 NEW LOOK. SAME HEART. BIGGER IMPACT.

Now supporting even more local charities — starting with the incredible Women of the Wasatch!

🦋 The autism community will always be at the heart of this race. And while we’re expanding our impact, a portion of each registration will continue to be donated to a local autism nonprofit. Please see the next post for more info on this. 🦋

Runtastic HEBER is back August 3 for one of our favorite fast, all-downhill courses through the stunning Heber Valley — and this year, we’re running for more than just PRs.

We’ve partnered with Women of the Wasatch, an Utah nonprofit on a mission to help women of all backgrounds connect, lead, and thrive through community and trail running. If you’ve been to any of their events, you know that it’s all about high-fives, fun times, and lots of glitter!

Women of the Wasatch offers Breaking Down the Barrier and bi-annual Caregiver Scholarships — with applications currently open — to provide free race entries, gear, coaching, childcare, and more. These initiatives ensure that women from all walks of life have access to the trail running community and the mountain magic of the Wasatch — because everyone deserves a chance to feel strong, supported, and seen.

We are excited to offer race entries for HEBER to 4 members of their amazing community to join ours!

Whether you’re chasing a new personal best or just soaking in those Wasatch mountain views, this race has something for everyone:

🏔️ Half Marathon
💙 5K
🦋 All-Abilities 1/2 Mile Run — a race we’re proud to continue for runners of every age and ability

Your registration will help fund real change. A portion of every entry goes directly to Women of the Wasatch — and this is just the beginning. We’ll continue to support local causes each year at HEBER to grow our impact right here in Utah.
