Lace up your running shoes for the 9th annual Run White & Blue, a celebrated Independence Day tradition taking place on July 4, 2026, in Huntersville, NC. This patriotic event offers a variety of distances to suit every runner, including a challenging 7.4-mile race, a spirited 7.4-kilometer option, and a fun 1.76-mile run. Beyond the personal challenge, participants will be running for a noble cause, as the event proudly supports military veteran and first responder organizations in the Lake Norman region, specifically benefiting Purple Heart Homes and the Firefighters' Burned Children Fund.

The Run White & Blue course promises an engaging experience with its unique double-loop design for both the 7.4-mile and 7.4-kilometer events. Runners will navigate a picturesque park, completing one "outside" loop in a dedicated center turn lane before embarking on an "inside" loop run counterclockwise around the park. The course is meticulously coned and signed, ensuring a safe and protected environment from traffic. With typical race day conditions seeing highs around 91°F and lows around 69°F, and only a 14% chance of precipitation, runners can prepare for a warm but generally clear day. Aid stations will be strategically placed along the course, offering water and support at locations such as the Cross Winds neighborhood, Reese Blvd in front of the Daumar building, and near the Spring Hill Suites Hotel.

Starting and finishing at Daetwyler Plaza on 13420 Reese Blvd W, the Run White & Blue fosters a lively atmosphere of fitness, community, and patriotism. It's a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the holiday with a memorable race experience while contributing to vital local charities. Join fellow runners for a day dedicated to health, honor, and community spirit.
