🦸 CAPES ON. COSTUMES READY. WASHINGTON — IT'S TIME TO UNITE.
💚 Hope & Heroes Run is Washington State's first-ever PANS/PANDAS awareness run — created to shine a light on a neuropsychiatric condition that is too often misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and faced in silence. On October 11, 2026, Washington shows up for these children and their families.
Join hundreds of heroes at beautiful Marymoor Park in Redmond for a family-friendly 5K, 10K, Kids Dash, and Heroic Sip & Stroll- superhero costumes are strongly encouraged. Run with your family. Join a community of heroes. Celebrate courage, community, and hope as the littlest sidekicks cross their very first finish line. This is October done right.
Whether you're a seasoned runner, a total beginner, or just here to watch your little sidekick zoom across the finish line in a cape, there is a place for every hero here. All ages. All paces. Strollers welcome. All of Washington welcome.
