Make it fun for the whole family and register the kids for the Kids Run on Saturday, August 31st! And don't forget to head to the expo to pick up your race packet and visit all the vendors at Camp North End. The expo runs from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM on Saturday, August 31.
Kids Run
Children 9 and under are invited to register and participate in this 0.277-mile run at Camp North End outside of the expo. Starting outside the Ford Building at 11:00 AM, they'll run around the front of the building and finish under the water tower. What a fun way for the kiddos to join the weekend race events, too!
Around the Crown 10K
In the main event, participants start and finish at Trusit Field, home of the Charlotte Knights, and race past the main gate of Bank of America Stadium where you can cheer on the Carolina Panthers and Charlotte FC home teams or sing your heart out to some of the biggest names in music. Racers will then tackle the iconic and scenic three-mile inner loop of Interstate 277 that circles Center City, before exiting the highway and running through the tree-lined streets of the Queen City for the remainder of the race and ending back at Truist Field.
But the excitement doesn’t end at the finish line. After crossing it, runners can join the lively post-race celebration. This year, a total of $13,000 in prizes will be up for grabs, with the awards ceremony kicking off inside Truist Field at 8:30 am.
What makes this race even more thrilling? It's not just about who finishes first. Special prizes await the 277th, 1,277th, 2,277th, 3,277th, 4,277th, 5,277th, 6,277th, and 7,277th finishers, each receiving a free pair of Brooks shoes. Plus, every participant has a shot at winning one of four coveted Golden Brooks Bibs, which also come with a free pair of Brooks shoes!
That's not all! If you’re among the fastest, you could win back your race fee! Aim for these impressive times to score: Female | Sub 38:00 min, Male | Sub 33:00 min, and Non-Binary | Sub 36:00 min.
