CALLING ALL HEROES AND VILLAINS.
The Superhero 5K returns on Sunday, July 26 at 8:30 AM, and this year the balance shifts.
You will choose your side.
Two separate 5K routes. Two destinies.
Hero or Villain, it is your call.
Whether you are racing for justice or embracing a little chaos, every participant receives a custom race t shirt, finisher medal, premium goodie bag, and a snow cone waiting at the finish line.
We will also have a grand prize raffle valued at over $500, plus costume contest prizes for best man, woman, and child costumes, with each winner receiving a $100 prize. Dressing up is not required, but if you want to suit up, bring your best hero or villain look.
This is more than just a run, it is an experience built for the community, powered by energy, and designed to be unforgettable.
Even more importantly, your participation helps give back.
Proceeds benefit Camp Sue Osborn, supporting a cause that continues to make a meaningful impact in our community.
