Christalis Inc. Announces Superhero Community 5K & Pop-Up Market in Takoma Park

TAKOMA PARK, Md. - EntSun -- Christalis Invites Community to 2026 Superhero 5K Run/Walk &
Pop-Up Market
Takoma Park, Maryland - Christalis will host its annual Superhero 5K Run/Walk and

Pop-Up Market on Sunday, September 27, 2026, at Washington Adventist University.
Proceeds from the family-friendly event will support Christalis programs serving
vulnerable children in Uganda and the DMV area.

Participants are encouraged to dress as their favorite superhero-or come as
themselves, because they are heroes to the children Christalis serves. The event will feature a 5K run/walk along the Sligo Creek Trail, a Little Hero Dash for children, snacks and hot drinks, children's activities, a costume contest, and a pop-up market with local vendors and food. Attendees also get to meet Grace, a child who was raised in the Christalis Home from 6 months old.

Our Christalis Superhero 5K represents the love and care of our donors and volunteers for the children we serve," said Shalini David, President of Christalis.
