5th Annual SuperPower 5K | 10K

Get ready to dust off your capes and hit the pavement for a fantastic cause. The SuperPower 5K | 10K returns to the Toronto Islands on Saturday, August 29, 2026, inviting runners, walkers, families, and pop-culture fans of all ages to complete a scenic waterfront course in full costume.

Whether you opt for the 5K, the 10K, or push your limits with the ultimate 15K Superhero Challenge, the atmosphere is heavy on community spirit and lighthearted fun. Dressing up as your favourite hero is heavily encouraged—and practically mandatory if you want to fully enjoy the high-energy vibe on the island.

Making a Difference Beyond the medals, music, and family-friendly fanfare, the event proudly supports Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital. Every stride helps create brighter futures for children and youth with disabilities, making this a sweat session you can genuinely feel good about.

Practical Details Getting there requires catching a quick ferry from the Jack Layton Ferry Terminal at Bay and Queen's Quay over to the islands—pro tip: give yourself extra time for the ferry queues on a busy late-summer Saturday. Spectators are completely free to attend, so bring family and friends along to cheer runners on from the scenic island parkways. After your run, stick around for a picnic or grab an ice cream near the pier to enjoy the tail end of summer on the waterfront.
