Superhero 5K

Dear Superheroes,

We hope this message finds you soaring through the week! We have an important update about our upcoming Superhero 5K, originally set for Friday, Sept. 13, at the Renton Community Center.

After careful consideration and a bit of superhero-style deliberation, we’ve had to make the tough call to cancel this event due to lower-than-expected registration numbers. We know how much you were looking forward to donning your capes and taking on the course, and trust us, this decision wasn’t made lightly.

For those of you who’ve already signed up and were ready to save the day, we’ll be processing full refunds back to your original method of payment. You should see those funds flying back to you within the next few business days. If you have any questions or need assistance with the refund process, our team is here to help—just give a shout to sconway@rentonwa.gov or 425-430-6711.

Thank you for your understanding, and we hope to see you at another heroic event soon!

The fun run/walk is a timed 5K course that begins at Renton Community Center, goes east along the Cedar River Trail, and turns around at Riverview Park to head back to Renton Community Center.
