Eagle 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon

Lace up your shoes for the Eagle 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon, set to take flight in Charlotte, NC, on Saturday, July 25, 2026. This vibrant event promises a fantastic atmosphere for runners of all levels, kicking off at 8:30 AM from the picturesque Mallard Creek Playground, conveniently located across from Mallard Creek Elementary School. Participants can choose their challenge from three exhilarating distances: a scenic 5K out-and-back course, a 10K that tackles the route twice, or the demanding half marathon, which completes the course four times. Runners will enjoy an engaging course that features a challenging hill at both the start and finish, offering a unique element to conquer.

Prepare for typical race day conditions in late July, with highs around 91°F and lows near 70°F, accompanied by a 14% chance of precipitation, making hydration and sun protection key. All finishers will proudly earn a commemorative medal to celebrate their accomplishment, and those with a flair for creativity can vie for the "Best Costume" award. Packet pickup begins 30 minutes before the race, but remember to register in advance on RunSignup as on-site registration is not available. With a generous time limit of 3 hours and 30 minutes for the half marathon, there’s ample opportunity to savor the experience and camaraderie on this engaging Charlotte course.
