Unleash your inner hero at the CASA of Marion County Superhero Run on Saturday, June 20, 2026, in scenic Salem, Oregon! This inspiring event, featuring 10K, 5K, and a free 1-mile fun run, invites participants of all ages and abilities to make a difference while enjoying a fantastic day out. Typical race day conditions in late June offer pleasant running weather, with historical highs around 76°F and lows near 52°F, and only a 3% chance of precipitation.

Participants can also look forward to competitive spirit rewarded with prizes for first-place finishers in the 10K and 5K, while kids in the fun run have a chance to win a gift card.
