3rd Belarusian Carolinas Trails Friends Run 5K
The 3rd Belarusian Carolinas Trails Friends Run is a community running and walking event at Park Road Park, 6220 Park Road, Charlotte, NC on Saturday, December 5, 2026. The event offers short course options and is open to participants of all ages.
Distances:
- 5K red track
- 1 mile white track
Both routes start and finish near the last softball fields and follow a course that includes the Sugar Creek Greenway, providing a route away from traffic. The course is described as mostly flat with an uphill finish back toward the softball fields.
On-site facilities include parking and restrooms. The event will be conducted as a cupless race to reduce waste; water, coffee, and snacks will be available at the start and finish area. Participants are asked to bring a reusable cup or bottle and to carry a bottle if they expect to need water along the course.
Proceeds from the event benefit Grandma’s House, a Belarusian-American initiative that helps provide meals and overnight stays for Ukrainians in need. Merchandise such as T-shirts and bags will be available with proceeds supporting the same cause. Every participant receives a medal and awards are given to the top three finishers in each race. The registration fee is $30. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
