Lace up your running shoes for the Eagle 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon, taking flight on Saturday, July 4, 2026, in vibrant Charlotte, North Carolina! This exhilarating event offers a perfect way to celebrate Independence Day with distances for every runner. Kicking off at 8:30 AM, the race starts next to Marion Diehl Adaptive Field, promising a festive atmosphere from the get-go.

Challenge yourself on a scenic out-and-back course that features a manageable hill at the start and finish, adding a dynamic element to your run.

Participants can expect typical race day conditions in early July, with highs around 91°F and lows around 69°F, and a 14% chance of precipitation.

Every finisher will be celebrated with a commemorative medal, and those with a flair for fun can showcase their spirit in the best costume contest.
