A Port Washington race looks to raise money for children, adults and families impacted by autism across Long Island.

The race kicks off this Saturday at 9 a.m. at Bar Beach in North Hempstead Beach Park, 175 West Shore Road.

All proceeds from 9th Annual Jack’s Run for Autism will benefit Nassau Suffolk Services for Autism.

Race participants can enjoy a day at the beach and grab some food at a buffet breakfast at the end of the event.

Jack’s Run was created by Michael Miranda and Ondine Slone, who were inspired by their nephew Jack, a student at NSSA’s Martin C. Barell School, according to PW Calendar.

All those who register in advance will receive a free tee shirt. The top overall finishers and top finishers in each age group will be awarded trophies.

Register for the event here.
