Race Information
The annual SuperHeroes of Hope Race happens at Dockweiler State Beach in Playa del Rey, CA. Set against the Pacific Ocean, the event brings together thousands of runners from all across the country united in one cause--to help those affected by brain tumors and childhood cancer. Runners have the opportunity to participate in a 5k, 10k, or have the option to run in both races. Kids have the opportunity to participate in an untimed 1k “fun run” complete with superhero cape or tutu. And runners from across the country and around the world can participate virtually at their own pace, in their own time, and on their own course. Try the Go Grey in May virtual run/walk challenge too!
