EE Exceptional Superhero 5K

Race Overview

“Every Hero Has a Purpose. Every Step Makes a Difference.” EE Exceptional Superhero 5K isn’t just a race, it’s a mission! This timed family-friendly race and fun run raises funds to host Cape Coral Night to Shine events and expand the Grace Church Exceptional Entrepreneurs program, while shining a spotlight on the needs of Lee County’s special needs population as they age out of the school system.

By joining the Superhero 5K, you’re not just running or walking, you’re helping create memories and opportunities that last a lifetime.
