It’s time again to get your mighty on!

The Third Annual Superhero 5 K Run/Walk, a Have2Run Production, starts at 10 a.m. Sunday, October 30 in Central Square, Cambridge. This charity event benefits On The Rise, Inc., a local nonprofit that provides safety, community, and advocacy to homeless women.

Last year, the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man made it to the finish line, as did any number of Batmen, Wonder Women, whole families of Super people (men, women, boys, girls and even babies), along with Captain America, The Green Lantern, SpongeBob SquarePants and a slew of The Incredibles.

Cash prizes will be awarded for the best costumes; with special consideration for teams. Organizers welcome dynamic duos, comprised of one hero and one villain; Fantastic Four in coordinated costumes; and Magnificent Seven teams. Runners are invited to an after-run party with music and munchies provided by sponsor Asgard.

There will be a FREE 50 yard dash for kids before the 5K at 9:45am.

On The Rise, Inc., www.ontherise.org, located at 341 Broadway, offers homeless women the help and support they need to find their way from surviving in the streets, to thriving in housing.
