JOIN US FOR THE HERORUN 5K & 1K FUN RUN
SATURDAY, October 31st, 2026 @ 8:00 AM
HeroRun is more than a race.
It's a celebration of the heroes who make our communities stronger every day.
From veterans and active-duty service members to teachers, healthcare workers, first responders, coaches, parents, and neighbors, HeroRun honors those who serve, lead, and inspire.
Hosted by American Asset Corporation and Fairview Plaza, HeroRun brings together runners, walkers, families, businesses, and community supporters for a morning of fitness, fun, and purpose.
Every registration helps support Veterans Bridge Home, a Charlotte-based nonprofit dedicated to connecting veterans and their families to the resources they need to successfully transition and thrive after military service.
Whether you're chasing a personal best, pushing a stroller, participating as a team, or simply showing your support, HeroRun invites everyone to be part of something bigger than the finish line.
Two races will kick off at 8 a.m., October 31st, 2026, at Fairview Plaza office buildings, with a 5k taking you through scenic South Park neighborhoods and a 1k Fun Run keeping you close to Fairview Road. Music, activities, and real heroes, members of all five branches of the U.S. military, will make for a fun, special event.

MAKING A LOCAL IMPACT
Since its inception, HeroRun has raised more than $250,000 to support Veterans Bridge Home and the thousands of veterans and military families they serve across the Charlotte region.
Through employment support, housing resources, healthcare connections, and community engagement programs, Veterans Bridge Home helps veterans successfully navigate life after military service.
When you register, sponsor, volunteer, or donate, you're helping create meaningful opportunities for those who have served our country.
