It raises awareness and funds for local families impacted by the emotional and financial hardships of a pediatric cancer diagnosis. Since it's inception in 2013, the SUPERHERO 5k has generated nearly $45,000 with superheroes aged 0-80 coming together to honor regular kids fighting extraordinary battles. The event features a timed 5k run/walk and a one mile Superhero-In-Training course. Registrants will also enjoy music, food, face painting, an obstacle course, visits from local law enforcement, therapy animals, and other noteworthy guests.
