Grady's Superhero Run

Grady's Superhero Run is a community-focused memorial event held in Dorchester, Iowa. The run honors the memory of a local boy while raising funds to support families facing medical issues and to fund memorial scholarships at local schools. The event aims to increase awareness for NUT Protein Carcinoma through a gathering that emphasizes community support.

The course is located on Waterloo Creek Drive. Participants depart from the front of Knotty Marie's and head west for approximately 1.5 miles before looping back to return to the original starting location. The event offers multiple ways to participate:

5K (In-person race)
Kid's Fun Run
Virtual 5K

The in-person gathering includes several family-oriented activities following the run. The venue features a bounce house, various kids' games, and a DJ for entertainment. Participants and spectators can access prize giveaways and a light meal, which is provided for a free-will donation. For those unable to attend the physical event in Dorchester, a virtual registration option allows participants to complete the distance independently.
