Be a Hero 2026 !

🏅 Super Hero Dash & Kids Fun Run! 🏅

Dust off your capes, lace up your sneakers, and get ready for a day of pure fun!

This isn’t your average, high-stress race. There are no timers, no pressure, and no intense leaderboard. Whether you run like Flash, jog, walk, or push a stroller, this day is all about celebrating the everyday hero in all of us. Bring the whole family out for a morning of movement, laughter, and a touch of magic!

🎈 Event Highlights

🎨 Superhero Transformation Station

Arrive early to get fully into character! We’ll have a free face painting station set up before the race starts. Get some lightning bolts on your cheeks, a hero mask over your eyes, or your favorite emblem painted on so you can fly through the course in style.

⚡ The Mighty Kids Dash

Before the main event, our littlest heroes get their chance to shine! This is a short, super-fun dash perfect for the kids to show off their lightning-fast speed. Every single child who participates takes home a special finisher prize to celebrate their heroic effort!

🏃‍♂️ The "All Heroes" 5K (Not Timed!)

Our 5K course is fully open to your own pace. Want to power-walk and chat? Perfect. Want to jog while wearing a cape? Awesome. Because this event is completely untimed, you can just focus on having fun, enjoying the music along the course, and making it to the finish line smiles-first.

🌟 What to Wear?

Costumes are highly encouraged but totally optional! Come dressed as your favorite comic book superhero, a real-life hero (like a nurse, firefighter, or teacher), or just sport your brightest, most colorful activewear.

Join fellow runners on August 30, 2026 for the Be a Hero 2026 !. It's a fantastic 5K, Kids Dash featuring a flat and fast course in Saint Louis.
