Hit The Brixx 10K/6K presented by Novant Health

Get ready to experience "Charlotte North Carolina's TASTIEST Run!" at the Hit The Brixx 10K/6K presented by Novant Health, returning on Saturday, September 19, 2026. This popular event invites runners to the vibrant city of Charlotte, North Carolina, with all races starting and finishing at the Blakeney Shopping Center. Choose your challenge from the spirited 10K, the accommodating 6K, or the fun Kids 1 Mile, making it a perfect outing for families and runners of all abilities.

The road course, which historically winds through local neighborhoods, has been noted for including "a good number of hills". While specific elevation details for 2026 are not yet released, runners can anticipate a dynamic route through community streets. Typical race day conditions in mid-September in Charlotte feature pleasant highs around 83F and lows around 63F, with only a 12% chance of precipitation, creating a generally favorable atmosphere for running. Aid stations with water stops and porta-potties will be available on the course and at the start/finish area to support participants. However, past participant feedback for the 10K noted only two water stops, suggesting runners might consider bringing personal hydration, especially given the potential for warmth and humidity.

What truly sets Hit The Brixx apart is the festive post-race celebration. Participants will be rewarded at the finish line with finisher medals, a commemorative event t-shirt, and, uniquely, delicious Brixx pizza and pasta. This community celebration also serves a greater purpose, with proceeds benefiting the Kid's Path program at VIA Health Partners, supporting a designated children's charity in the Charlotte region. Runners have previously highlighted the enjoyable atmosphere, despite challenging conditions, making it a memorable event.
