CASA SuperHero 5K/10K

Race Info

Lace up your shoes, put on your cape, and join us for the CASA SuperHero 5K & 10K, a fun and meaningful race benefiting Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA). Every step you take helps give a voice to children who have experienced abuse or neglect and are navigating the child welfare system. Whether you’re a seasoned runner, a casual jogger, or a family looking for a fun community event, this race is for you. We encourage teams, runners, walkers and families with strollers (dogs too) to dress up as their favorite superheroes while competing in a fun, family friendly environment! Costumes are encouraged—because our kids deserve heroes in every form!

About CASA: CASA volunteers are trained community members appointed by judges to advocate for the best interests of children in foster care. Funds raised support volunteer recruitment, training, and ongoing advocacy, ensuring that every child has a consistent, caring adult standing up for them in court and in life.
