Superheroes for Autism

The Superheroes for Autism race takes place in Charlotte, North Carolina, at McAlpine Creek Park. Scheduled for April 11, 2026, the event features a 5K race, a 10K race, and a fun run-walk. Both the 5K and 10K are chip-timed from start to finish, with all finishers receiving medals.

The 5K course is stroller-friendly with a smooth hill section, while the 10K extends onto the McAlpine Greenway. Awards are given for overall and age-group winners. The race supports Autism Services of Mecklenburg County, a nonprofit providing housing and services for adults with autism.

Participants are encouraged to dress as superheroes to celebrate the theme. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
