2017 Northside Education Foundation Superhero 5K Run/Walk

The Northside Education Foundation (NEF) Superhero 5K Run/Walk & Family Wellness Fair, presented by CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Health System, is one of the largest, local non-profit 5Ks in San Antonio. In 2016, almost 4,000 participated.

On this day, NISD staff, students, hundreds of families, sponsors, and vendors will come together to support NEF’s mission of generating more resources for NISD faculty and staff to provide innovative educational programs for more than 106,000 students. After the race, with a registration upgrade, the fun continues with a private lunch and a day at SeaWorld (Aquatica not included). 

This year, NEF is celebrating the real-life superheroes who support the District with or without a cape or mask. Join forces with your sidekicks and be a hero for NISD by participating in the Superhero 5K! Organizations interested in being a super sponsor or Wellness Fair vendor can register here. Questions? Call 210-397-8599.

There are two options for packet pickup: Campus Packet Pickup or Northside Learning Center (NLC) Packet Pickup. Please read carefully to determine which option is best for you.

Campus Packet Pickup:  If you choose this option, your packet will be picked up by an NISD Team Captain and distributed at the campus/site you selected to run for upon registration. Click here to view contact information for NISD Team Captains. Packets will be ready for pick up at your designated campus/site the week of April 24.

Northside Learning Center (NLC) Packet Pickup: If you choose this option, packet pickup will be available from 8 a.m. - 6 p.m. on both April 26 and 27 at the Northside Learning Center in Building A located at 6632 Bandera Rd. SATX 78238. NISD Team Captains will receive a different schedule.

Parking is only free until 8 a.m. Due to the high volume of people at this event, early arrival is recommended.

Deadline to order a SeaWorld lunch and park ticket is April 14. A very limited number of tickets will be available on race day. Advance purchase is highly recommended.

The SeaWorld lunch and park tickets are treated like cash and will not be replaced if lost. All tickets will be distributed on race day at the SeaWorld ticket pickup table. You must present a valid ID and sign for your tickets.

This event would not be possible without the help of our volunteers.  Volunteers are needed before the event and during race day. If you would like to help support Northside students, faculty and staff please contact Krysten Casias at (210) 397-8599 or Krysten.Casias@nisd.net. This is a great opportunity for high school students, college students, retired NISD employees or anyone interested in volunteering their time.
