Run & Ride Carowinds

Combine the thrill of the ride with the thrill of the run! Run & Ride is excited to be returning to Carowinds, where you will experience a one-of-a-kind run through the amusement park and then take to some of the best coasters in the country. With a half-marathon, QM (a half of a half!), 5K, and 1-mile fun run to choose from, you can find something for everyone. And you’ll enjoy some of the best swag around: a ticket to the park on race weekend!

Come run with us where the two Carolinas meet and experience all that Carowinds has to offer — including two of the top-10 coasters in America and tons of other thrill rides, family attractions, and Dinosaurs Alive! Admission to Carolina Harbor, Carowinds’ water park, also is included with your park ticket for race weekend.

Don’t want to leave the family at home? Bring them along! They can keep busy the entire weekend, and while you soak in that ice bath, they can take to the rides and have their own kinda fun.
