The American Tobacco Trail, Apex, NC
Suit up. Show up. Save lives.
A superhero-themed 5K with real-world impact.
Held during National Suicide Prevention Week, the HBOT4Heroes’ Run 4 Their Lives 5K isn’t just a race—it’s a call to action. A moment to honor those we’ve lost. A rally to support those still fighting. A mission to bring real hope to real people.
Why We Run
Because 44 veterans die by suicide every day.
Because first responders are burning out and falling through the cracks.
Because people you know—and people you love—may be fighting silent battles.
We run to say: You are not forgotten. You are not alone. And we are not done fighting.
About the Race
This is a superhero-themed, family-friendly, and fully inclusive 5K event.
Walk it. Run it. Roll it. Wear a cape. Bring a stroller. Invite your dog. Everyone is welcome.
As you register you can:
✓ Dedicate a cape to your personal hero at the Cape Station
✓ Add a Tribute Trail sign in honor, memory, or support of someone who matters to you
✓ Create a team and raise funds together
✓ Run virtually from anywhere in the world
Why It Matters
HBOT is giving people back their lives. It’s restoring clarity, reducing suicidal thoughts, healing trauma, and offering hope when nothing else has worked.
And yet, most people who need it can’t access it. THAT’S why we run. To fund treatment. To fight for access. To save lives.
This isn’t just about miles. It’s about meaning.
We Run 4 Their Lives—because every step, and every dollar, can help save one.
