From the Organizer
Join us on Saturday, October 3, 2026, for an unforgettable experience at the historic Castle Air Museum in Atwater, California. Lace up your running shoes and bring the whole family for a one-of-a-kind event that combines community spirit, superhero fun, and support for those who serve and protect.
Whether you're chasing a new personal record in the 5K, enjoying the 2K Run/Walk with friends, or cheering from the sidelines, every participant becomes part of a mission that extends far beyond the finish line.
Your registration helps support multiple local agencies dedicated to protecting our communities, including efforts to provide protective K9 vests for law enforcement working dogs. These courageous four-legged officers put themselves in harm's way every day, and together we can help ensure they have the equipment they need to stay safe.
🏃♀️ Run fast.
🚶 Walk proud.
🐕 Support our K9 heroes.
❤️ Strengthen our community.
Experience a unique course set against the backdrop of historic aircraft and aviation history at Castle Air Museum, all while making a real impact on the lives of those who serve others.
Because heroes come in all sizes—some even have four paws.
Join the pack. Be the difference.
