2nd Annual Superhero 5K Fun Run & Family Day!

We invite you and your family to help us create tomorrow's superheroes by transforming into your inner Superhero!

Milford Prevention Council and the Woodruff Family YMCA invite you and your family to help us create tomorrow’s superheroes! Transform into your inner Superhero at the 2nd Annual Superhero 5K Fun Run & Family Day! This event is family-friendly and heroes of all ages are invited to participate.

The Superhero 5K Fun Run is a 3-mile long racecourse is a scenic loop of a quiet Milford neighborhood during the start of autumn. It starts in the Woodruff Family YMCA driveway and heads out toward Woodruff Road, and then turns onto Burnt Plains Road to continue the loop back to the finish line that is inside the YMCA parking lot. There are a couple of small hills, the elevation level changes no more that 61 feet during the race, and there are few curves and turns on this course.

Prior to the start of the race all 5K runners will be given a bib, and a wristband, which grants them entry to the Family Day area and the first 200 runners who registered online will receive their free superhero capes! Any runner who registers the day of the event will be required to sign a waiver at the registration table. All participating 5K runners will be given special goodie bags filled with items from our sponsors after the race has concluded. All final race times will be posted online for viewing and emailed out the race participants.
