Braveheart Children's Advocacy Center Superhero 5K Run and Resource Fair on April 18, 2026

The Braveheart Children’s Advocacy Center is rallying the community with a Superhero 5K event today. Scheduled for 10 AM, the run encourages participants to don their favorite superhero costumes, supporting children overcoming abuse and trauma. Activities begin earlier at 9 AM with booths from local partners like OSF Healthcare and Abilities Plus, providing games and resources for families. Following the main event, a Kids Superhero Fun Run at 11 AM celebrates young participants with special ribbons. Only the 5K carries an entry fee; all other activities are free. Braveheart credits sponsors Martin Engineering, Key Mortgage and Realty, and JMAC Metals for their support. Register here for the Superhero 5K.
