Get your costume ready for the Donate Life Hero Run celebrating the superhero in all of us and supporting Donate Life NC!

Join us on March 25, 2017 for a fun day featuring 5K, 10K and 1 mile run and a lively afterparty in the beautiful Clayton community of Portofino. All ages welcome. Strollers are welcome in the 1 mile fun run.

This race will include certified 5K and 10K courses on paved road and unpaved bridle paths.

We love dogs but, as Portofino is a horse community, please leave dogs at home for their safety.

About the Hero Run

This race launched in 2016, when the Blackmon family of Clayton decided to give back following the successful, life-saving liver transplant for their infant daughter Sofie. Because of the incredible generosity of a donor family, Sofie is a happy, healthy little girl today.

Sofie today!

Currently, more than 3,000 North Carolinians are still waiting for a life-saving transplant, many of them children under 18. Help us make life possible!
