Everyone is invited to run, walk, skip, and dash during the upcoming Superhero Strides 5K, Participants of all ages and abilities are invited to dress up as their favorite superhero, while supporting a cause that will transform lives. Whether dressed up or not, all participants are considered heroes for the soon to be Heart Well Homestead!
With race timing and logistics provided by Adirondack Coast Events, it’s only $30 to register in advance and $35 the day of the race. Kids ages 6 and under can participate for FREE when accompanied by a registered adult! There will be prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place runners, as well as best superhero costume.
This is both a competitive and a family oriented event. Pipsqueak’s Party Time will be providing FREE face painting and balloon animals thanks to sponsorship by The Hoffman Eells Group CPAs. To beat the heat after the race, ice cream and popsicles will be available for purchase from Mr.Ding-a-Ling of the Adirondacks. And if running is too hard on your knees, test ride an ElliptiGO bike from Adirondack ElliptiGO.
All proceeds from the race will benefit Heart Well Homestead, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that’s preparing to open a transitional residential program within the City of Plattsburgh for unhoused pregnant and postpartum women and their infants from throughout Clinton, Essex, and Franklin Counties. Heart Well Homestead will empower homeless pregnant and parenting mothers by supporting their physical, emotional, educational, and spiritual needs so they can thrive. Their vision is to see healthy mothers and their children prepared to move into a stable environment with the support of their family, friends and community.
