Ocean City’s annual OC CON Comic Book and Memorabilia Show includes a one-mile Super Hero Run, which encourages costumed characters of all ages to show off their speed; plus a separate Super Hero running event for kids age 12 and under.
The 1-Mile Super Hero Run starts at 9 am on Saturday the Boardwalk at the Music Pier, and the out-and-back course goes down the boardwalk.
An awards ceremony is at 10 am inside the Pier.
Entry in the one-mile event entitles all 12-and-unders to participate in the Super Hero running events at 9:30 am at the Music Pier (racers do not have to check in twice – they can wear their 1-mile race bibs).
Race-day registration is from 8-8:45 am at the Ocean City Music Pier (Moorlyn Terrace and Boardwalk).
Super Hero Run registration fees: $15 for 13-and-overs and $10 for 12-and-unders through April 3. Race-day registration is $20 for 13-and-overs and $15 for 12-and-unders. Registration for 12-and-unders includes both the 1 Mile Run and kids distances.
