2026 Superhero 5K

Join us for the 10th Annual Superhero 5k Fun Run (Walk, Run, or Fly!) at ACU's Williams Performing Arts Center.  Bring the family! Perfect for all ages and fitness levels! Team entries encouraged. A prize will be awarded to the largest team.

The goal of the event is to increase awareness of CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates), to recruit more volunteer advocates for children and to raise funds to support our mission. All proceeds from our race will directly benefit Big Country CASA in our mission to give a “voice” to abused and neglected children in court and the Taylor County foster care system.
