    The race date has been updated and finalized! Race day is April 25, 2026.

    The Superhero Run is a 5K - Kids 1K Fun Run/Walk - and Virtual Run. All races will start and finish at the FOE on the corner of Washington and Liberty Streets in Nostalgic Downtown Morris, IL. The 5K will start at 9am with the Kids and Anyone 1K immediately after the end of the 5K (approximately 10am). We encourage everyone to come dressed as their favorite Superhero.

    For the 2026 year, GFWC - Morris Woman's Club will donate the race proceeds to "The Heart of a Hero Award" that spotlights a Morris Senior that demonstrates quiet acts of good and heroic deeds.

    In loving memory of Alexxis McKerrow, this special scholarship was created to celebrate the qualities she embodied most--> kindness, compassion and inclusivity. This award honors individuals who make a difference through empathy, positivity and their ability to make everyone feel welcome.

    ***For the safety of all runners and to follow city rules, only service animals are allowed downtown and on the race course. No pets allowed, thank you!
