The Kids Superhero Run is a fan favorite and its back with even more excitement! Kids 10 and under will run alongside adult superheroes (yes, costumes are encouraged!) in a fun-filled dash. Will a villain appear? Only our heroes can find out!

NEW for 2025: Choose Your Own Post-Race Adventure!
Instead of a catered meal, were partnering with the Jackson DDA and downtown businesses to give every 5K/10K participant a $10 gift certificate to spend however you like food, drinks, shopping, you name it! More discounts and surprises are coming your way as race day approaches. Lets rally behind our downtown district and celebrate together!

Sweet Treats for Superheroes!

Every young hero will score a FREE scoop of ice cream from RJs Burgers & Ice Cream because saving the day deserves a reward!
