The 2021 CASA Superhero Run cape design has been revealed. This year’s design features two superhero kid characters created by artist Matthew Walden on a dark blue background.

Every child under 13 who is registered for the 1K fun run at the Superhero Run presented by White Greer and Maggard on Aug. 21 will receive one of the custom capes. Registration is available at www.lexsuperherorun.com.

“These capes usually go fast and kids love wearing them at the Superhero Run,” CASA of Lexington Executive Director Melynda Jamison said. “Kids love using them long after the race, too!”

The Superhero Run benefits CASA of Lexington, a nonprofit that recruits, trains and supports community volunteers who serve as Court-Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteers for abused and neglected children in the local family court systems. CASA of Lexington currently serves Fayette, Bourbon, Woodford and Scott counties, and is expanding to serve Jessamine and Garrard counties this year.

“The Superhero Run is one of our most popular fundraisers all year because there’s so much to do besides the 5K run/walk and the 1K fun run for kids 12 and under,” Jamison said.

The Superhero Run festival features free food for race registrants, inflatables, games, a petting zoo, face-painting, mini-train rides, photo ops with superheroes, a pet costume contest and more.

Early-bird registration prices are still available through July 21. Registration for the 1K fun run, which includes one cape, is $20. Registration for the chip-timed 5K walk/run is $30 and includes a CASA Superhero Run T-shirt, also featuring artwork by Walden.
