Elizabeth 8K: Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Meetup 🌸

Saturday, April 25 — join us for the Elizabeth 8K -- your way. Pick your adventure and jump in.

This is one of Charlotte’s longest-running spring traditions (40 years strong), with 1,300+ people turning out to run, walk, cheer, and soak in one of the city’s most beautiful neighborhoods — tree-lined streets, historic homes, and a great crowd.

Choose your path:

🏃‍♀️ Run or walk

• 8K timed race (go all out or just enjoy the course)
• 1.5M untimed run/walk (perfect for a relaxed pace)

📣 Cheer squad
Post up along the course and bring the energy — it’s a fun, high-vibe crowd and plenty of people to root for

☕ Post-race hang
Meet us after to grab coffee, wander Plaza / Elizabeth, and enjoy a prime spring morning

Why come:
A perfect Saturday mix — sunshine, social energy, and whatever activity level fits you best. Meet new people, catch up with friends, and explore one of Charlotte’s most beautiful neighborhoods while running, cheering, or just hanging out.

What to do:
RSVP + comment your plan (run / cheer / hang) so we can coordinate timing and meetup spots for each group. If you plan to do one of the races, register using the link below.
