This event will now be virtual. We have two options for you to choose from:
1. Select your own course, self-time your race, and submit your time to us by September 18, 2021 11:59PM
2. Run our course at Shelby Farms Park on September 18, 2021 anytime between 9:00 AM-12:00 PM, submit your results in-person (or ask one of our volunteers to assist you). Join us for Superhero pictures, snacks, and other goodies in Hyde Lake Pavilion at your own convenience!
Join us for our 4th Annual 5k and Fun Run to SMASH the stigmas surrounding people with disabilities in the United States and abroad. We are excited to be back in-person this year with the option to participate virtually (results calculated separately)!
This year's registration will include either a card-timed 5k (self-timed for virtual participants) or 1 mile fun run. Each registrant will also get a t-shirt with our superhero logo on it (*guaranteed if registered by September 1, 2021). Everyone who registers will be eligible to win one of our costume or door prizes, so be sure to walk, run, or roll in your best superhero attire! 5k participants who place in one of our 5k categories (1st, 2nd, or 3rd in their age group and overall male and female) will receive a beautiful race medal with handmade ribbons created by our friends and partners in Kibera, Kenya.
Our in person event will take place on Saturday, September 18th, 2021 at Shelby Farms Park. Our virtual 5k will run from 8:00AM Saturday, September 11th to 11:59PM Saturday September 18th.
