East Texas CASA Superhero 5K & Fun-Run
The East Texas CASA Superhero 5K & Fun Run is an annual fundraiser held in Longview at Triple Creek Shopping Center/Guthrie Creek on September 19, 2026. The event offers two distances and is organized to benefit East Texas CASA; proceeds support recruitment, training, and support for volunteer advocates who speak for children in foster care in Gregg, Rusk, and Upshur counties.
Event options:
- 5K (3.1 Miles)
- 1 Mile Fun Run (1 Miles)
Participants who register by August 31, 2026, are eligible to receive a Race Day T-shirt; T-shirts are not guaranteed after that date. Registration opens June 5, 2026, and closes September 19, 2026. The listed registration fees are $35.00 for the 5K and $30.00 for the 1 Mile Fun Run. The event is described as family-friendly and community-focused, with costumes encouraged. Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
The format includes a timed 5K race and a shorter fun run suited to families and children. The organizer highlights volunteer advocates and the link between event proceeds and services for children in foster care, rather than competitive results or awards.
