CASA Superhero Run

The CASA Superhero Run returns to Two Rivers Park in Glenwood Springs, Colorado on September 12, 2026. This event offers a mix of adult runners and children eager for fun, featuring both a 5K race and a shorter 1-mile Kids Fun Run.
Race morning at Two Rivers Park finds the air crisp with an average temperature around 17.5°C, slightly cooler than the minimum of 10.4°C but not too cold. The setting is serene; runners can enjoy views of nearby mountains while navigating firm yet slightly soft terrain under a clear sky. With about 11 hours and 29 minutes of sunshine expected, it promises to be an ideal day for racing.
The CASA Superhero Run has been running since its inception in 2020, making this the seventh edition. It’s not just a race; it's a community event that aims to support abused children through advocacy and support services provided by CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates). With participation numbers growing each year, it solidifies its place as an important local tradition.
The course venue is Two Rivers Park, known for its well-maintained trails. The 5K route offers a mix of firm and slightly soft surfaces, with the terrain providing a steady challenge throughout. For families, there’s also a 1-mile Kids Fun Run that keeps little ones engaged while parents run the longer distance.
Starting at 7:00 AM sharp, runners will find aid stations along both courses to keep them hydrated. The race layout ensures a smooth transition from start to finish with minimal elevation changes and no significant obstacles.
