Superheroes for Autism

Superheroes for Autism is a charitable running event held at McAlpine Creek Park in Charlotte, North Carolina. Scheduled for April 11, 2026, the event features a 5K race, a 10K race, and a fun run-walk, all chip-timed for accurate results. The 5K course is stroller-friendly with a smooth hill section, while the 10K extends onto the McAlpine Greenway.

Participants in the 5K and 10K receive finisher medals, and awards are given for top overall and age group finishers. The race supports Autism Services of Mecklenburg County, a nonprofit providing housing and services for adults with autism. The superhero theme celebrates the residents' love for superheroes, encouraging participants to dress in costume. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
