CASA SuperHero 5K/10K

Unleash your inner hero at the CASA SuperHero 5K/10K, set to take place on Saturday, April 18, 2026, in scenic Wheeling, West Virginia. This inspiring event offers participants the choice of a 10K or 5K distance, welcoming runners and walkers of all abilities to join the fun. What truly makes this race "super" is its dedication to a vital cause: supporting Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) and the children they serve in foster care. Expect a vibrant atmosphere where superhero costumes are highly encouraged, adding a playful and community-focused spirit to your race day.

The courses for both the 5K and 10K distances are designed for an enjoyable experience, starting and finishing at the base of the Wheeling Creek Rail Trail, specifically at JB Chambers Youth Community Park. Runners will traverse a flat, paved, out-and-back route, offering a smooth and scenic journey. The 10K course includes a single intersection crossing at Washington Ave. Bridge, which is the only point where participants might encounter traffic. Typical race day conditions in mid-April for Wheeling, WV, often feature comfortable highs around 63°F and lows around 41°F, with a modest 17% chance of precipitation, providing pleasant running weather.

Beyond the run, participants will receive a custom SuperHero race t-shirt, a finisher medal to commemorate their achievement, and a chip-timed race bib. Post-race, celebrate your efforts with refreshments and snacks. Awards will be presented to top overall finishers, age group winners, and those who showcase the best costumes, making it a truly rewarding event. Whether you're aiming for a personal best or simply want to support a heartwarming cause, the CASA SuperHero 5K/10K promises an engaging race experience where every step helps provide a voice for children in need.
