The Hero Run is a community event at Riverfront Park in Niles, Michigan, featuring a 10K (6.2 miles) at 9:00 a.m., a 5K (3.1 miles) at 9:10 a.m. and a 1-mile (1.6 km) Hero Walk at 9:20 a.m. on June 5, 2027. The routes take participants through downtown Niles and along the Riverwalk Trail.

Proceeds go to individuals and families in the Michiana area to provide them with essential resources. A costume contest encourages participants to dress up as superheroes, and the event highlights the positive impact endurance sports can have. Awards go to the top overall finishers and age group winners in each race.
