Every successful event is powered by the dedicated volunteers—and our recent Superhero Run was no exception. From the earliest moments of setup to the final stages of tear down, our volunteers were the true heroes behind the scenes, ensuring every runner had a memorable experience.
Whether it was directing runners along the course, handing out water, or simply offering a smile and encouragement, their efforts made all the difference. We are deeply grateful for the many individuals and organizations that stepped up to help us. Their willingness to give their time and energy is what made this event possible.
Among these incredible volunteers, one story stands out. Maria, a volunteer on the route, is an adoptive mother who once received support from The Attic Resource Center during her adoption journey. Now, having come full circle, she returned to serve as a volunteer, giving back to the same community that once supported her.
Maria’s creativity shone on race day. With her daughter dressed as Mario, they encouraged runners with a “Tap Here to Power Up” sign. Runners loved tapping the sign as they passed, receiving both a boost of encouragement and a smile. It was a joyful touch that lit up the course.
Maria didn’t come alone—she brought her running crew, the SoleSisters, who handed out candy and cheered on participants at other locations, adding even more energy to the day.
We can’t thank our volunteers enough. They are the heartbeat of the Superhero Run, and we are forever grateful for their support.
