📍 Race Location and Map

Race location: McAlpine Creek Park

Here's the map of the race: 5K route

This is the standard 5K course McAlpine is known for. For those with strollers, have no fear (of the hill), we've designed a stroller friendly tiny alteration in the course. We’ll have people on the course to make that clear.

🤝 About the Race and ASMC

Autism Services of Mecklenburg County (ASMC) for short. ASMC is a 501(c)(3) not for profit providing housing and services for adults with autism right here in Charlotte since 1979 and they are WONDERFUL!

All entry fee profits go directly to ASMC to keep them running great. - Just like you will be doing at this race when you sign up!

🏆 Why Superheroes?

Hi, my name is Tony Scotto di Carlo and I have served on ASMC's board for 14 years. My brother Thomas is a resident at one of ASMC's wonderful group homes. We’ve picked the Superhero theme because many of ASMC's residents, (including my brother), love Superheroes and we want them to be super excited and surprised when they see hundreds of caped crusaders in full superhero gear running at once. That means you BTW! - sign up now! (Also, let’s be honest, Superheroes are just awesome)

❤️ Join Us!

We’re delighted that you are here. If you are not a runner, sign up and walk or just make a donation. ASMC will appreciate any amount!

Thank you for your generosity - YOU ARE A SUPERHERO!
