HeroRun spotlights the people who strengthen the community, from veterans and active-duty military to teachers, healthcare workers, first responders, coaches, parents, and neighbors. Presented by American Asset Corporation with Fairview Plaza, the event brings together runners, walkers, families, businesses, and supporters for a morning focused on fitness, connection, and purpose. Each registration supports Veterans Bridge Home, a Charlotte nonprofit that links veterans and their families to resources that help them transition successfully and thrive after military service. Participants may aim for a personal record, walk with a stroller, take part as a team, or show their support, all while contributing to something that reaches beyond the finish line.

A Halloween themed public speaking challenge takes place at Best Brains Peachtree in Fort Mill, where students in grades K through 7 step into character and deliver a three minute speech in costume. Each participant introduces the character they chose, explains what makes that character stand out, and brings the role to life while practicing creativity, confidence, and clear communication. The program allows three minutes per student. Registration is requested so organizers can group participants by age and set the speaking order.
