Calling All Heroes—River Road Needs You!
The Superheroes are flying into town, and you’re invited to join the action! Mark your calendar for February 14th, 2026.
Who’s your real-life superhero? A teacher, nurse, firefighter, police officer, military veteran, or maybe a loved one who’s overcome cancer? It’s time to celebrate the everyday heroes who inspire us—and become one yourself for the day!
Suit up, grab your cape, and hit the scenic streets of River Road for our Superhero 5K & 8K Run, featuring a certified course with stunning views of the St. Johns River. Whether you’re training for the Gate River Run or just looking for a high-energy, family-friendly event, this race is for YOU.
Enjoy:
- Live music and an electric atmosphere in the Superhero Village
- Costumes galore—yes, we want to see your best cape, mask, or full-on hero gear
- Custom superhero race shirts for all participants
- Finisher medals for all 5K and 8K runners
