From the Organizer
Be a Hero — and a Wizard at this year's Heroes for Hospice race!
Join Citizens Memorial Health Care Foundation and SGC Foodservice for the 14th Annual Heroes for Hospice Race on Saturday, May 1, 2027. Whether you’re running, walking, or cheering from afar, there’s a way for everyone to participate. Sign up for the 1.5 Mile Fun Run/Walk, 5K, 10K, or join as a virtual participant.
This year’s theme is Wizard Race, so the real magic is in the costumes! Break out your best “Harry Potter”–inspired gear — robes, house scarves, wands, magical creatures, and anything else straight from the wizarding world. Come dressed to impress and help turn race day into a spellbinding celebration. The more creative, the better!
All registrations will receive a T-shirt and a timing chip. Youth 12 and under who register will also receive a race T-shirt and timing chip. Babies and toddlers don’t need to register unless you’d like them to get the T-shirt too.
So grab your broomstick, gather your fellow witches and wizards, and join us for a magical day of fun — all while supporting hospice care in our community.
