CASA Superhero 5K and Kids 1 Mile

🦸‍♀️ Join the CASA Superhero Run!

Join us for the 10th Annual CASA Superhero Run: Heroes vs. Villains powered by CMA's Lynchburg Dealerships! Unleash your inner hero (or villain...mwahaha) and sign up today to transform the lives of children who need it most! Join us by lacing up your sneakers for a walk, dashing to the finish line in a run, contributing through a donation, or catching some extra Z's from the comfort of your bed as a Couch Crusader. No matter how you choose to participate, you'll be making a difference in the lives of children in Central Virginia!

🏃‍♂️ Event Options

• 5K Run: Superheroes who like to run like the flash can sign up for the 5K Run and receive a race shirt (or cape), swag bag, and finisher medal! The run will be professionally timed by Riverside Runners. The start/end will be in the parking area of Percival's Island Trail in downtown Lynchburg. *Please note our later start time. We will be starting at *10:00am due to potential ice on the bridge in those early morning hours.
• 5K Walk: If walking is more your superhero style, then sign up for the 5K Walk. Walkers will receive a race shirt (or cape), swag bag, and finisher medal! The walk will also be professionally timed but is non-competitive (no age group or overall awards issued). *Please note our later start time. We will be starting at *10:05 due to potential ice on the bridge in those early morning hours.
• Kids 1 Mile Fun Run: Get those little superheroes out for some training runs and build up to one full mile by race weekend. Our little superheroes (12 and under) will receive a cape, swag bag, and finisher medal. This fun run will not be timed.
• 0.0 Mile "Couch Crusader": If lounging on the couch and watching superhero movies is how you want to participate, then this category is for you! Couch crusaders will get a race shirt and swag bag and you don’t have to do anything but relax. This is a super easy way to support the event!
