SUPER HERO 5K - Cartersville
The event is the second annual 5K run held in Cartersville on February 27, 2027, with start and finish at the City of Cartersville Parks & Recreation Senior Aquatic Center at Sam Smith Park, 1155 Douthit Ferry Rd. The run benefits Helping Hands for Bartow Kids (HHBK), an organization that provides educational programs, healthcare initiatives, and social services to children in Bartow County.
The course uses the rolling pathways of Sam Smith Park and nearby surface streets; the organizer notes there is some construction in the park and that a plan is in place to address it. Participants are encouraged to dress as their favorite superhero. Attendees may bring nonperishable food and hygiene products for Allatoona Resource Center and Red Door Food Pantry. Packet pick-up is available Friday, February 26, from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM at the Helping Hands for Bartow Kids office at 115 W Cherokee Ave Suite 200; packets will also be available on race morning. Registration opens November 9, 2026 and closes February 21, 2027, with a registration fee of $30.00. Race swag is not guaranteed for those who register on race day. Awards include top three overall male and female, overall masters male and female, and medals to the top three in multiple age categories. The event will proceed in rain or shine.
