Sensory Stations

Do you know that EVERYONE has unique sensory needs and sensory preferences? It's true! Knowing someone's sensory needs is a key ingredient to success at Systems Unlimited. This is why we are trying something unique and fun by hosting a Sensory Run.
 
What is a sensory run? Throughout the 5k and 1-mile routes, stations will be set up to engage the senses while you participate in the event. Be prepared to be engaged during this event!

 

Sensory Stations: 
1) SCENTED BUBBLES - Breeze on by as bubbles blow by you! A delightful scent as you blaze on past. 

2) FLOWER TUNNEL - A tunnel of sorts to pass by and amuse your eyes.  
 
3) RIBBON RUN-THROUGH - Hanging ribbons of all types will sweep across you as you enter this part of the sensory run. Enjoy the different textures and surfaces as you cruise on through.
 
4) ART DISPLAYS BY THE PEOPLE WE SERVE - Experience unique art cut-outs made by the people we serve. Every year, we intend to add new art for you to enjoy! 

 

5) BUBBLE WRAP HANDOUT - Who doesn't enjoy popping bubble wrap? Have the option to pop a square of bubble wrap as you walk/run. 

 

6) SCENT STATIONS - Throughout the route, there will be scent distribution machines for you to enjoy scents like Apple Pie and Citrus. 
 
 
Additional Sensory updates will be made as the event nears, so check back! 
 
After the Sensory Run and Walk are over, our Post Party will also feature some awesome sensory activities for all ages, including two bounce houses, giant bubble wand stations, and more!
