Heroes for Hope Race

Heroes for Hope Race Moves to Virtual Format 

After careful consideration, the Children’s Advocacy Alliance has made the decision to move the Heroes for Hope race to a virtual race. The health and safety of our community are our top priority. This decision is aimed to protect from the further spread of or exposure to COVID-19.

We request that all superhero runners time their race, submit their results, and share a before and after photo with us via email or via social media no later than April 11, 2020, at 7:00 p.m. Tag us @ChildrensAdvocacyAlliance #H4H2020 so that we can celebrate with you!

All virtual superhero runners will receive a runner shirt and medal. We will host we will host a ceremony honoring the work of our runners, community members, and teachers after the risk for COVID-19 has diminished.

Remember, this is NOT an officially timed race, we want you to have fun and know above all else you are helping the kids in our community!

How does a virtual race work?

You may run, walk, skip, or dance your race at your own leisure. This may be done outside on a per-measured course, on a treadmill, or through a tracking device. So long as you finish your distance for your race and time it, you’ve finished the Heroes for Hope Race 2020. You’ll need to upload your finishing time for your race to the website, after you submit your results we will make sure you’re on our award ceremony list.

What’s the best way to virtually run this race? 

We suggest using a per-measured course, tracking device, or a running machine like a treadmill.

Who do I tag in my photos online?

Tag the Children’s Advocacy Alliance and use #H4H2020

What if I don’t want to run virtually but still want to help kids?

If you don’t want to run on your own time, you may donate your registration fees directly to the Children’s Advocacy Alliance to help kids find hope. Each registration by itself will train one child in abuse prevention and give three additional children the hygiene products they need. You’ll still get race swag and help kids — it’s a win-win!

Will I get a medal if I participate in the virtual race?

Of course! All runners will be given a medal and a shirt for participating in the virtual Heroes for Hope Race.
