CASA Superhero Run

Join us for the 8th Annual CASA Superhero Run! Walk, run, or raise money for CASA and you can be a real-life superhero to some very special children right here in Central Virginia.

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 chip timed by Riverside Runners. The start/end will be in the parking area of Percival’s Island Trail in downtown Lynchburg. *New start time in 2022! We will be starting at 10am 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 chip timed but is non-competitive (no age group or overall awards issued). *New start time in 2022! 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. ONE parent per child may run with their small children. Parents do not have to pay or register to participate with their child in the 1 mile fun run. Parents will receive a numbered bracelet which is their “ticket” to run with their child and/or pick up their child at the finish line parent/child meet-up corral. There will be 2 heats (races) with a rolling start beginning at 11:00 am and approximately 11:20 am. The second heat will need to be lined up and ready by 11:10 am and will start when the first heat finishes. The start location for both heats will be the parking area of Percival’s Island Trail in downtown Lynchburg. Superheroes will chase the villains to the halfway point, refuel, and run back to the finish line. This fun run will not be timed and all kids will receive a collectible finisher’s medal.

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!
