When I saw the many positive reviews of this Race, I had this on my list to run. I absolutely had the best time! The atmosphere was exciting, packet pickup was easy and the Expo held was so well organized. We were placed in corrals based on our average times for race day. They had pacers for this event which was great. What a rush with almost 6000 Participants! The weather was absolutely perfect! Great medal, shirt, socks and food at the end. The race lager was so good too. What an exciting crowd with marching bands, cheerleaders, firemen cheering overhead on the ladder trucks and the excitement of running on Interstate 190 with spectators cheering from the overpasses! If you are a 10K Runner, you must RUN this race at least once! I’m so happy I did!

Every year, I enjoy this race as my birthday run! Every year, all my friends complain how hot and humid it is. I wear my hydration vest whereas most races I don’t. My first year I didn’t wear my vest and needed it. plus, I also don’t like the taste of hot water in the plastic cups. I like being able to say that I ran on 277. This race is a massive party that starts at the expo. This race is put on very well. Great merch that can be purchased along with a nice medal and a good shirt. Plan to spend time at the expo, it is a good one. I like the free pictures but not great shots.

I’ve never seen such effort put into a 10K before. Normally in a race of this size, there is a marathon or a half involved, but there were around 6000 runners in this race alone. The course was great, with a large hill on Mile 4 and mostly downhill after that. It took is around downtown Charlotte with a large part being on the interstate. The location of the start/finish line was very convenient to nearby hotels and the medal and shirt were great! Would highly recommend.
Great views of Charlotte!

This year was a little different than the first and felt a little more crowded at the start and finish. Always gets a great crowd but the course will surprise you! There is a big hill on mile 4 right as you are finishing the highway portion that’s rough.
I remember the first time I ran thinking that running on the highway wouldn’t be that exciting but it was a really amazing race. The views are great and a fun new way to see the city.
A race experience on a new level!

From the community you instantly become a part of when you register, to the partners doing good things in the community, to inclusive feel for people of all fitness levels, to the energy on race day and the coolest way to see and experience Charlotte, ATC10K is so much more than just another race. It is a bucket-list level experience you must do!
Charlotte's best race by FAR!

I ran Around the Crown in 2019 and in 2020. The race experience in both years was top tier, which was (of course) difficult to do in 2020. I ran with a stroller both in both years and the course was challenging but so much fun. Looking forward to running again in 2021!
Charlotte's Premier 10K!
Loved running on the highway and all of the sustainability initiatives! The expo with live music, local beer, and plenty of vendors was great the day before too! MORE
