Superhero Heart Run

Saving The Day For CHD Since 2013!

The Superhero Heart Run is the nation’s first superhero-themed family-friendly fun run specifically committed to raising awareness, support, and funding for kids and families affected by Congenital Heart Disease (CHD).   Heart Heroes, Inc., a nonprofit organization dedicated providing custom superhero capes to kids born with CHD, is continuing their nationwide 5K and 2K walk/run to raise widespread awareness and support for Heart Heroes across the country.

Since its launch in Omaha, Nebraska in 2013, the Superhero Heart Run has united thousands of superheroes to walk, run and FLY next to Heart Heroes in their community, all the while they’re adorning their superhero costumes and capes!  And now, people are suiting up in their superhero gear all across the country to create the most highly-visible event that has ever existed for CHD awareness. Heart Heroes is actively partnering with national & local CHD organizations to bring this event to cities across the country & to work together to raise widespread awareness & support for those impacted by CHD.

To date, over $1,800,000 has been raised to “SAVE THE DAY FOR CONGENITAL HEART DISEASE” for the 1 in 100!!

Super

GREEN

Initiative

The Superhero Heart Run and Heart Heroes, Inc. are committed to implementing environmentally friendly practices during the execution of our events.  We have developed this “SUPER GREEN” Initiative to describe our sustainability policy and communicate it to our participants and supporters. Join us in being “SUPER GREEN” at the Superhero Heart Run and everyday – we thank you for your commitment to sustainability practices!

 

No Styrofoam will be purchased nor used at a Superhero Heart Run event. We encourage all participants to bring their own water bottles to reduce the need for paper cups or plastic bottles.

  •  
  • The Superhero Heart Run will offer recycling containers at events for recyclables.
  •  
  • We are committed to offering water refill stations and paper cups to participants versus purchasing individual water bottles. If individual bottles are donated for an event, we will distribute them to the participants (and encourage recycling in provided containers).
  •  
  • There is no smoking at any Superhero Heart Run event.
  •  
  • Due to environmental and medical concerns, balloon releases are not allowed at Superhero Heart Runs (including non-latex and biodegradable balloons). We have offered a Heart Angel Remembrance Event at many of our events, and do a “bubble ceremony” rather than a balloon release.
  •  
We hope you will join us to be “SUPER GREEN” at the Superhero Heart Run! !
