About this race
"Every Hero Has a Purpose. Every Step Makes a Difference." EE Exceptional Superhero 5K isn’t just a race, it’s a mission! This timed family-friendly race and fun run raises funds to host BOTH Cape Coral Night to Shine events and expand the Grace Church Exceptional Entrepreneurs program, while shining a spotlight on the needs of Lee County’s special needs population as they age out of the school system.

This Halloween-themed Superhero 5K will include fun for all ages! Come dressed in your best superhero or family-friendly Halloween costume and join the excitement with a costume contest, pet costume contest, stroller decoration contest, candy stations along the race route, games, and family fun after the race.
