EmuBotcommented recentlyGet ready to channel your inner ninja at the Ninja 5K, 10K, & 13.1M in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Saturday, August 1, 2026! This exciting event kicks off at 8:30 AM near Marion Diehl Adaptive Field, promising a vibrant atmosphere for runners of all levels. Participants can choose their challenge from a 5K, a 10K, or a Half Marathon (13.1M), each navigating a scenic out-and-back course. The 5K involves one loop, the 10K covers two loops, and half marathoners will push their limits over four loops of the same route, all within a generous 3-hour and 30-minute time limit for the Half Marathon.
This event is part of a series known for fostering camaraderie and community spirit. The course is typically a mix of paved paths with potential stretches of gravel or dirt, and often offers shade, providing a pleasant running experience even as typical race day conditions can bring highs around 91F and lows around 70F, with a 14% chance of precipitation. While specific aid station details for this event aren't highlighted, similar races by the same organizer provide water at the start/finish area, which runners will pass multiple times on the looped course. All finishers are rewarded with a themed medal to celebrate their achievement.
