Registration has opened for the ninth annual Eagles Autism Challenge presented by Lincoln Financial to be held on Saturday, May 9, 2026, at Lincoln Financial Field. Individuals interested in participating can register on the Eagles Autism Challenge website.

According to a statement from the Philadelphia Eagles, all participants who register by Thursday, Oct. 31, 2025, will be eligible to receive 50% of their registration fee waived as part of the special "Early Bird" promotion. Registrants can use the promo code "earlybird26" when signing up.

The Eagles Autism Challenge cycling and 5K run/walk event benefits the neurodiverse community. It directs 100% of the event's proceeds toward supporting cutting-edge autism research and care programs.

The Eagles Autism Challenge comprises a one-day bike ride and a family-friendly 5K run/walk that begins and ends at Lincoln Financial Field. It will consist of the following: 

  • The Wawa Hoagie 10-Mile Ride offers participants a chance to navigate through the City of Philadelphia and its suburbs. 
  • The FreedomPay 5K Run/Walk, mapped and certified by U.S. Track & Field, takes participants on a scenic journey around the neighborhood. 
  • For families and participants with sensory challenges, the West Sensory Walk is a shorter course around the outside perimeter of Lincoln Financial Field. 

All five routes end at Lincoln Financial Field, where participants will enjoy a finish-line celebration, family-friendly activities, and an awards ceremony featuring Eagles players and special guests. Additionally, participants will receive a cycling jersey or a 5K T-shirt, a finish line medal, and a complimentary gift bag. Exclusive experience prizes and autographed memorabilia will be given to participants who reach specific fundraising milestones during the year.

Those who want to fundraise but are unable to ride, run, or walk on the event day can take part as a virtual participant.
