Alpha Law Group will host its annual 5K for Autism in Sarasota, bringing families together for a free, sensory-friendly event designed to celebrate inclusion, raise awareness, and support children on the autism spectrum. The community-focused event provides a safe, welcoming environment where families of all abilities can connect, run, and enjoy the day together.

SARASOTA, Fla., Feb. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Once again, Chase Engelbrecht and Alex Kompothecras of Alpha Law Group are coming together to bring together the autism community! The Sarasota, FL based personal injury lawyers have announced that their popular Autism 5K is back at Nathan Benderson Park for the second year. We are proud to host this free, family-friendly 5K event dedicated to autism awareness and inclusion. Designed for individuals of all ages and abilities, the event creates a welcoming, sensory-friendly environment where families can come together, have fun, and celebrate community.

For the second year in a row, Alpha Law Group is proud to host this special 5K event in support of autism awareness and inclusion. The event is centered on giving families, especially those with children on the autism spectrum—an opportunity to spend meaningful time together in a fun, relaxed, and welcoming setting. Free to attend and thoughtfully designed to minimize sensory overstimulation often found at large public gatherings, the event ensures a comfortable and inclusive experience for all participants.

You do not have to pay to attend the race, and the money raised from this race will go directly to two charities: the Autism Society of Florida and the Haven. In addition to the race, families will enjoy inflatable slides, games, pony rides and interacting with animals, free food (i.e., soft drinks and cotton candy) for children, and beer for adults. The event will have an atmosphere that is sensitive to sensory needs, with trained volunteers present to help make the environment as calm, comfortable, and enjoyable for all as possible.

"Access isn't just about ramps and signage, it's about designing experiences where every family feels safe, comfortable, and included," said Alex J. Kompothecras, Managing Attorney, Alpha Law Group. "We're proud to help build spaces where autistic individuals can fully participate in community life."

"Families navigating autism often face real financial and logistical hurdles," added Chase J. Engelbrecht, Managing Attorney. "By keeping the event free and directing all proceeds to local nonprofits we trust, we want to deliver real support, on the track and beyond."

A Year-Round Commitment

The 5K is just one part of what lawyers Alex and Chase do for the autism community in Sarasota. They work together with partners within the community, helping people and families with autism and disabilities gain access to community-based services and legal services throughout the year. They also host or participate in numerous other ongoing activities, such as:
