Hero Races are a category of Chao Races in Sonic Adventure 2 which are unlocked after finishing all of the Beginner Races, and having unlocked the Hero Garden by evolving a Hero Chao. The Hero Races include four races, along various courses taken from the Jewel Races. Hero Races only allow unevolved, Neutral, or Hero Chao to enter- Dark Chao may not enter the race. Every race is against various Dark Chao, and the races take place in a Dark Garden-like version of the normal Chao Race courses, complete with Dark Garden-like music, dead trees, and tombstones.
Unlike the prizes for the Beginner and Jewel Races, the prizes for these races are unlocked for the whole of the Hero Garden and allow several Chao to play with them at a time. Winning the second race will provide a ball for Chao to kick and chase, and winning the fourth race will provide a rocking horse toy for Chao to ride
When a Chao completes the final Hero Race course the Chao will receive the Hero Medal, which it will wear until it wins another medal. To wear the Hero Medal again, the Chao must complete the fourth Hero Race course again.

Races
Baby Devil
A race against Dark aligned child Chao, along various Gradual Evolution paths. This race follows the same course as the Peridot Jewel Race, only testing a Chao's Run and Stamina stats.
Child Devil
A race against various Dark Chao. This race follows the same course as the Diamond Jewel Race, and requires a Chao to excel in all stats to succeed, especially Run and Stamina.
Death Troops
A race against various Dark Chao with skull hats. This race follows the same course as the Garnet Jewel Race, which requires a Chao to excel in Power, along with a high enough Run stat, to emerge victorious.
Devil vs Angel
A 1-on-1 race against a Devil Chao, along the Diamond Jewel Race. A Chao must excel in all stats to beat this strong Devil Chao.
Rivals & Other Chao
"Rival" Chao are those that appear in the same race consistently with the same stats and appearance. Every race has anywhere from 0 to 7 rivals. Non-rival race opponents have random stats taken from a certain range appropriate for each race. Being a rival Chao does not necessarily mean that that Chao has the highest stats of the opponents (although they certainly can be the most challenging opponent.) The rivals of each Hero Race, and their stats, are shown:
| Race | Description | Swim | Fly | Run | Power | Stamina | Intelligence | Luck |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Baby Devil | No set Rival | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A |
| Child Devil | No set Rival | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A |
| Death Troops | No set Rival | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A |
| Devil vs Angel | Devil Chaos Chao | 1666 | 1666 | 1666 | 1666 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
For the first three races, the values of the Chao's stats are between a certain range, included in the table below. The Devil vs Angel race has been omitted as the only present Chao is the rival with set stats.
| Race | Swim | Fly | Run | Power | Stamina | Intelligence | Luck |

| Baby Devil | 238-404 | 238-404 | 238-404 | 238-404 | 238-404 | 238-404 | 238-404 |
