Superhero Heart Run

Ready...Set...Fly!

You have the power to save the day for CHD!

The Superhero Heart Run is the nation’s first 5k/2k event aimed at raising awareness for Congenital Heart Disease! To date, over $1,850,000 has been raised for the children and families affected by CHD. This family-friendly event first launched in Omaha, NE in 2013 and has grown each year. Heart Heroes partners with local and national CHD organizations to bring this event to cities across the country. Proceeds raised from these events are utilized to provide support, education, research and create awareness for CHD, the most common birth defect worldwide.
