This is Chris’s fifth year of enjoying running or participating in the CASA Superhero Run. He firmly believes that both running and life in general are improved by costumes. By supporting and recognizing the elite competitors in this competition, he hopes to encourage you to make the running tails of this city as weird as super humanly possible. Since we can’t all be together, please let us see your costume out on our roads, sidewalks, byways, and trails this September. Each time you see a costumed runner, consider supporting CASA with a donation.

Sofia Ojeda - Volunteer Advocate with CASA of Travis County
Sofia has been volunteering with CASA of Travis County going on 3 years now, and is loving the experience everyday! She loves working with the kids she's appointed to, especially on days they see each other and talk about crafts and good books. As a judge, she is looking forward to all the fun costumes and seeing everyone's smiling faces!
Barrie Breed - Volunteer Advocate with CASA of Central Texas
Barrie’s interest in CASA started WAY back when her Mother, LeRayne Donelson, along with a handful of likeminded, take-charge, make-it-happen folks in the Texas panhandle started the first rural CASA program in Texas, CASA ’69. Her Mom is also a fun-loving, costume-making, party-throwing “clown.” Thus it’s clear who one of Barrie’s most beloved superheroes is!
