This event is sponsored by NIBOP LLC and First Farmers Bank & Trust and hosted by the Hopkins family to raise funds for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to fuel efforts to find a cure for all those with CF - including their son and superhero, Jensen. No connection to the Hopkins family or to CF is necessary to participate - all are welcome! Supporting sponsors include Uncle Al's Breading, Norris Insurance, and Knee's Electrical Service.
 
What to expect:
After checking-in on event day, have fun mingling with other heroes and be sure to stop by the photo booth📸, too! The short (about 1 mile) walk/jog/run will kick off following some informal superhero "training." 

Route will be on gravel drive. Strollers welcome. No bicycles, scooters, or skateboards please. This is a smoke-free event.

Calling superheroes of all ages! Suit up and join us for our fourth Superhero Fun Run sponsored by NIBOP LLC and First Farmers Bank & Trust, to benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
