Celebrating its seventh year, the Around the Crown 10K is a hallmark event in Charlotte's running calendar, renowned for its distinctive course that takes participants onto the city's I-277 inner beltway—a route closed to traffic exclusively for this race. The race commences and concludes at Truist Field, home of the Charlotte Knights, guiding runners through Uptown Charlotte, past iconic landmarks like the Carolina Panthers' stadium, and offering panoramic views of the Queen City's skyline. Beyond the race, participants can enjoy a festive atmosphere with refreshments, activities, and a community-centric celebration. The event emphasizes inclusivity through its "Pay What You Can" entry option, ensuring that financial constraints don't hinder participation. Additionally, proceeds support local non-profit organizations, reinforcing the race's commitment to community engagement and sustainability.
