SuperHeroes 5K

Lace up your running shoes and unleash your inner hero at the SuperHeroes 5K, set to take place on Saturday, April 4, 2026, in the charming community of White Pine, Tennessee. This family-friendly event kicks off at Lakeway Christian Academy, serving as both the start and finish point for the 5K, with registration beginning at 7:30 a.m. and the race at 8:30 a.m.. More than just a race, the SuperHeroes 5K is a vibrant celebration of April as National Autism Awareness Month, with all proceeds directly supporting scholarships for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities through Hope & Thrive Academy.

Runners can anticipate typical race day conditions around this time of year, with pleasant spring highs near 66F and lows around 46F, and only a 19% chance of precipitation, creating an inviting atmosphere for personal bests or a spirited fun run. What makes this 5K truly special is its unique superhero theme, encouraging participants of all ages to don their favorite costumes, with prizes awarded for the best dressed. Beyond the festive costumes, competitive runners will vie for a $100 cash prize awarded to the overall top male and female 5K finishers, with professional timing provided by WE RUN FASTER.

The SuperHeroes 5K offers a professionally timed 5K for runners, alongside a 1 Mile Walk-a-thon option for those who prefer a more leisurely pace, making it an inclusive event for everyone to participate and contribute to a worthy cause. Join the White Pine community for a day of heroism, health, and heartwarming support for Autism Awareness.
