It is with a heavy heart that we deliver the news that Charlotte Racefest Half-Marathon & 10K, scheduled for April 18, 2020, has been canceled due to COVID-19.
It should go without saying but our top priority is always the enjoyment, health and safety of our participants, volunteers, staff, and spectators. We have been closely monitoring COVID-19 globally and locally. Our state has issued a recommendation to avoid situations that bring together 50 or more people for a minimum of 8 weeks. We cannot, in good conscience, put you or our community at risk hosting an event designed to bring upwards of 2,000 people together in one event in a month from now.
Unfortunately, there is not an alternate date available in order for us to reschedule the races.
As a registered participant of the 2020 events, we are extending 3 options for you to consider.
