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!

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
