Sussex SuperHero 5K

The Sussex SuperHero 5K returns to Lewes on September 27th in the picturesque Delaware region of the United States. This year's event will see runners and walkers converge at Rehoboth Beach Park, located just off Route 1 between downtown Lewes and Rehoboth Beach. The morning air will be cool with a gentle breeze, setting an ideal tone for a day filled with community spirit.
Race organizers have created a course that winds through the historic streets of Lewes before leading participants to scenic spots in Rehoboth Beach Park. This year marks the 10th anniversary of Sussex SuperHero 5K, which has grown from its humble beginnings into an anticipated annual event. Over the years, it has attracted more than 2,000 participants who run or walk for a good cause: proceeds benefit the Kim and Evans Family Foundation, supporting local initiatives that enhance community well-being.
The course offers a flat terrain with hard and dry surfaces suitable for both runners and walkers of all abilities. The route is a mix of urban streets and park paths, ensuring a smooth experience throughout. Participants will start at Rehoboth Beach Park at 7:00 AM, where they'll be greeted by volunteers setting up the race area. The finish line, also in Rehoboth Beach Park, offers stunning views of the nearby water.
On race morning, expect temperatures to hover around a comfortable 21.7°C with mild humidity levels and minimal rainfall risk, making for pleasant running conditions. A slight breeze will keep things cool during your run or walk. The UV index is moderate at 5.0, so sun protection remains important.
The Sussex SuperHero 5K offers three distances: the traditional 5K run / walk, competitive walking, and a virtual option available to all participants.
