Missed the inaugural Paths to Possibility 5K? You can still support it through July 31, 2026!
On April 26, 2026, more than 250 participants ran, walked, and rolled around Marin Civic Center Lagoon Park in San Rafael to support The Helix School, a place where autistic and neurodivergent students ages 5–22 are seen, supported, and set up to thrive.
What was the Paths to Possibility 5K?
The inaugural Paths to Possibility 5K Run/Walk/Roll was a community celebration and fundraiser benefiting The Helix School in San Rafael, CA. The event welcomed participants of all abilities — runners, walkers, wheelchair users, and families with young children — for a scenic route around the Marin Civic Center Lagoon Park.
With 250+ participants from across the Bay Area and beyond, the event brought together Helix families, alumni, educators, neighbors, and supporters united by a shared belief: that every neurodivergent child deserves an education built around who they are.
What Does It Support?
All proceeds benefit The Helix School, an accredited non-public school serving autistic and neurodivergent students ages 5–22 in San Rafael. Helix uses a relationship-based, integrated clinical-academic model — meaning educators and clinicians work side by side to meet each student’s unique needs.
