2026 Superhero Half Marathon and Relay

Unleash your inner hero at the 2026 Superhero Half Marathon and Relay, set to take place on Sunday, May 3rd, in picturesque Morristown, NJ. Starting and finishing at Ginty Field, this event offers a challenging yet rewarding 13.1-mile journey, with a 2-person relay option for those who prefer to team up. The scenic course features a "rolling" elevation profile with a total gain of 164 meters, strategically designed with moderate hills in the initial 3-5 miles, giving way to a faster, flatter, and gently rolling terrain for the final 7-10 miles, particularly as you wind through the beautiful, shaded paths of Loantaka Brook Park. With typical race day conditions in early May boasting highs around 70°F and lows of 48°F, and only a 16% chance of precipitation, runners can anticipate ideal weather for a strong performance.

What truly sets this race apart is its vibrant superhero theme, encouraging participants to don their favorite capes and costumes, creating an unforgettable and festive atmosphere. Beyond the fun, the Superhero Half Marathon is renowned for its excellent runner support, including well-stocked water and sports drink stations approximately every 2.5 miles along the course. Pacers will be on hand to help you hit your goal, with groups for various finish times up to a strict 3-hour course limit. All half marathon and relay finishers will receive impressive medals, and the first 1,000 registrants will be awarded tech tank tops.

Celebrate your heroic achievement at a lively post-run party featuring complimentary participant photos, delicious food like grilled meats and puffcorn, and even post-run massages provided by Atlantic Health. Special prizes will be awarded for the best costumes, making this a race that combines competitive spirit with community camaraderie. Join fellow heroes in Morristown for a race experience that is both challenging and exhilarating.
