Registration opens July 1

Get ready to suit up and swing into action at the 12th Annual CASA Superhero Run on Saturday, November 7, 2026 at Percival’s Island Trail.

Inspired by everyone’s favorite friendly neighborhood web slinger, this year’s race celebrates the idea that with great power comes great responsibility. CASA volunteers live that truth every day as they step up to advocate for children experiencing abuse and neglect.

Whether you are racing for a personal record, walking with friends, or cheering on a young superhero, this high energy, family friendly event helps CASA recruit, train, and support volunteer advocates for children in foster care across our community.

From speedy runners to our legendary Couch Crusaders, there is a place in this adventure for everyone.
