DSACT is proud to partner with the Austin Marathon each year to host a hydration station and fundraiser. We have a team of runners/fundraisers as well as volunteers and cheerleaders who help make this event a success!

Austin Marathon Gives Partnership

For over 10 years, DSACT has proudly partnered with the Austin Marathon as one of its official Austin Marathon Gives charities. In this role, we staff a hydration and aid station, cheering on participants as they race through Austin and reach their personal milestones. It’s a truly meaningful event that brings together our Down syndrome community with the wider Central Texas community in support and celebration.
