SCAR Superhero Run for Scholarships

Gather your capes and prepare for an inspiring dash at the 2nd Annual SCAR Superhero Run for Scholarships on Sunday, June 21, 2026, in beautiful Augusta, NJ. This festive event, featuring a USATF Certified 5K run, invites participants of all ages and abilities to embrace their inner superhero while supporting a noble cause. The scenic course winds through the expansive Sussex County Fairgrounds, offering a "superhero-fit" route that is generally welcoming for runners seeking personal bests or simply a fun, active day out. Typical race day conditions in late June bring comfortable highs around 80F and lows near 57F, with only a 19% chance of precipitation, promising pleasant running weather.

Beyond the main 5K, the event also features a spirited 1 Mile Fun Color Run, perfect for families and those looking to add an extra splash of vibrancy to their morning. What truly sets this race apart is its vibrant atmosphere and heartwarming mission: all proceeds benefit the New Jersey Realtors® Educational Foundation, providing scholarships to local high school and college students pursuing higher education. Runners are highly encouraged to don their favorite superhero costumes, adding to the day's playful and empowering spirit.

The SCAR Superhero Run for Scholarships transforms the Sussex County Fairgrounds into a lively hub of activity, with food trucks, games, exciting photo opportunities, face painting, and even a bouncy slide ensuring entertainment for everyone long after crossing the finish line. With awards presented to top male and female finishers across various age groups, it’s a competitive yet incredibly community-focused gathering where every stride helps shape a student's future.
