Superhero 5k, Vol. IX

Join the Friends of Athens CASA for the 9th Annual Superhero 5k!! We're bringing the Superhero 5k back bigger and better than ever before with a kids' obstacle course, bounce houses, crafts and more. Just like in the past, registered Superheroes will receive the best swag around --> Exclusive Superhero5k Cape, "Why I Run..." Bib and maybe even a surprise or two. Participants have a few options for receiving their race packets. You can opt to pick up your packet during race day check in; receive your packet via US Mail for a small shipping fee; or decline your packet.

Can't make it to Athens on race day? You can run, walk, roll, peddle, paddle, roller skate or swim your 5k wherever you are... just remember to tag us and post using #AthensCASA5k. Most of all, you still mark your support of the 100+ children in Athens County who rely on Athens CASA to protect their best interests.

For those joining us in-person on race day, check in begins at 9am with limited activities and games for kids and the run begins at approximately 10am, following the youth obstacle course. There will be CASA merchandise available for purchase. In the event that public health circumstances change and it is no longer safe to hold an in-person gathering, the event will revert to 100% virtual. No refunds will be given.

This year's race is more important than ever as Athens CASA, along with many victim-serving organizations in Ohio, faced back-to-back federal funding cuts, while new referral rates continue to soar. Please join the effort to support and protect our kids... and do it with friends!
