HSHS St. Anthony's Memorial Hospital issued the following announcement on Aug. 10.
Community members wanting to get healthier have an opportunity to become a “superhero” for the day and join in the 2018 Superhero Race on Saturday, September 15, at the Richard E. Workman Sports & Wellness Complex. The race is being presented by HSHS St. Anthony’s Memorial Hospital, whose Physical Rehabilitation and Wellness services are located in the Workman Sports Complex. All proceeds support the HSHS St. Anthony’s Foundation to benefit the hospital's various rehabilitation and wellness programs.
The cost for the 5K Walk/Run or the 10K Run will be $25 each. A new additional option this year is the Superhero Chipper Challenge. This event is a strength challenge as participants do specific timed movements at various reps.

Dri-fit long sleeve race shirts are back for those participating in the 5K/10K races, and the Superhero Chipper Challenge offers a men’s muscle tee or ladies tank top. The registration deadline to receive a shirt is August 20.
