All profits from the event will be donated to food banks in the Charlotte area. Your participation will directly support individuals and families in need by helping provide access to meals and resources. Feeding America estimates that 1 in 5 children and 1 in 7 people experience food insecurity in North Carolina. Our goal is to provide meaningful support to local food banks, helping ensure that children and families have reliable access to nutritious meals and essential resources.

Our event is open to people of all ages and fitness levels! Whether you are aiming to set a personal best on this well-known course or simply looking to enjoy a morning outdoors with friends and family while supporting a worthy cause, we welcome your participation. The 5k course winds through the scenic trails of McAlpine Creek Park and is the same course used for large local and regional high school races, including the Brooks South XC Regional Championships.

Come out, get moving, and Turn Miles Into Meals.
