Who doesn't love dressing up in his favorite costume and running around releasing his inner superhero? KID Hero 5K gives you an excuse to do just that without having to wait for Halloween, and you get to help out Kids in Distress while you do so. If you enjoy running as a hobby or you're simply down to have a good time, make memories while joining the community in the 5K. Beginning at 7 a.m. Saturday, show up in your best costume for the KID Hero 5k at Huizenga Plaza to begin the run or walk through historic parts of downtown Fort Lauderdale. Participants will each receive a chip to monitor their time, and at the conclusion of the race, awards will be given out for each age group. KID will provide water, sports drinks, and healthy snacks to runners. Once you've crossed the finish line, enjoy a celebratory breakfast party complete with various dishes, music, and postrace activities. Registration costs $35 for adults and $15 for those 17 and younger. Huizenga Plaza is located at 1 E. Las Olas Blvd. in Fort Lauderdale.
