About this race

CDH Family Reunion: Superhero Fun Run & Memorial Walk

Calling all superheroes!

  • Community: At The CDH Foundation, we believe everyone touched by CDH has a superpower worth celebrating. Whether you are a CDH survivor, an angel, a sibling, parent, grandparent, family member, or friend—you are part of this heroic community!
  • Connection: The CDH journey can often feel isolating, which is why spending time with families who truly understand can be so life-giving.
  • Event: Join us for an afternoon of superhero-sized family fun, including a fun run for the kids, talking, games, and—of course—a cookout!
  • Memorial: At 6:30 p.m., we will transition into our Memorial Walk and luminary lighting ceremony.

Registration Update

  • Fee: In an effort to keep costs low, we have reduced the registration fee for this year's event to $20. The registration fee does not include an event t-shirt, but you may add one during registration for an additional cost.
  • Super Hero Sprint: A children's sprint will be available, with the registration not including the cape but available for an additional fee.
  • Accessibility: This allows families to attend at a more affordable price while giving participants the opportunity to purchase commemorative swag.
  • Gratitude: Thank you for helping us make this event accessible. We can't wait to see you there!
