CASA Superhero 10K

Run for a Cause in Wheeling

The CASA SuperHero 5K/10K is a community sports event held at JB Chambers Youth Community Park in Wheeling, West Virginia. The event serves as a fundraiser for Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA), an organization that supports children who have experienced abuse or neglect. Participants are encouraged to dress in superhero costumes to match the theme of the day.

The event offers several distances and categories:

• 10K Run
• 10K Competitive Walk
• 5K Run/Walk
• 5K Competitive Walk

The racecourse is situated on the Wheeling Creek Rail Trail, providing an out-and-back route on a flat, paved surface. Most of the course is separated from vehicle traffic, with the exception of the 10K route, which crosses the intersection at the Washington Ave. Bridge.

Registered participants receive a custom t-shirt (with a "no shirt" discount option available) and a finisher medal. The event utilizes chip timing for results. Awards are presented to the top three overall men and women, as well as the top three finishers in various age groups ranging from 1-14 to 70+. A special recognition is also given for the best superhero costume. The venue provides post-race refreshments and snacks at the 470 Ballfields area. The event is open to runners, walkers, teams, and families with strollers or dogs. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
