2025 Elizabeth 8K

🏃‍♂️ Event Overview

The Elizabeth 8K is a family-friendly event with a competitive course hosted in Charlotte, NC. Taking place each Spring and welcoming over 1,300 runners to one of the city's oldest and most beautiful neighborhoods, the Elizabeth 8K has been a Charlotte favorite for almost 4 decades. The race starts and finishes just off of Elizabeth Avenue with the majority of the route weaving its way through the historic, tree-lined streets. Participants have several events to choose from:

• 8K Timed Race: This course provides a fantastic tour of the scenic residential and commercial streets of the Elizabeth neighborhood.
• 1.5M Untimed Run/Walk: Join your friends for a brisk walk, go for a jog with your kids, or just get outdoors for a nice stroll through the neighborhood with your coffee.
• Liz Kids' Fun Run: Even the little ones can get in on the action with this FREE fun ~50-yard dash. It’s for kids six years of age and younger, and no registration is needed.
