Organiser's description

Harrison County CASA is excited to announce the launch of our first CASA Superhero 5K hosted solely by our Harrison County team. While this event was a joint effort in the past, we are excited to announce that CASA of Marion County has launched a superhero 5K in the fall, expanding the impact in our communities and creating an opportunity to unite in sharing our mission and raising awareness for the needs of the children in both counties.

Although some things have changed, several things remain the same, including the 5K route. Check out the event details below.
