Course Description

All Novant Health Charlotte Marathon events start and finish in Uptown Charlotte, North Carolina. The scenic, winding marathon course takes you through some of Charlotte’s most historic, eclectic, and Instagram-able neighborhoods! From the heart of the Center City, to tree-lined boulevards, arts and cultural districts, and more: you’ll see it all on your way as you Run Charlotte!

For all the fun with a little less run, take on the half marathon or Chick-fil-A 5k! You’ll enjoy all the perks of a big-time event – like the Health and Wellness Expo presented by Fleet Feet, Finish Line Festival, and race day excitement – with fewer miles!
