Feed Charlotte 5K - Turning Miles Into Meals
The Feed Charlotte 5K is scheduled for August 8, 2026 at McAlpine Creek Park, 8711 Monroe Road, Charlotte, NC. The event is organized by the Stride Forward Foundation, a nonprofit founded by Charlotte area high school students. All profits from the event will be donated to food banks in the Charlotte area.
The 5K course winds through the trails of McAlpine Creek Park and is the same course used for large local and regional high school races, including the Brooks South XC Regional Championships. The event offers a 5K run and walk option and a Sleep-in Supporter registration tier; listed registration prices include mandatory charges and fees. Registrants who register for the 5K by July 17, 2026 and attend the event or packet pickup are guaranteed a race t-shirt in their size. Those who register on or after July 18 may select from remaining sizes while supplies last.
Fundraising information shows $465.62 raised toward a $4,000 goal for the Stride Forward Foundation (about 12% of the goal). Race policies state there are no refunds unless the participant enrolled in the Refund Protection Program, and that Race Management may cancel or modify the event due to unfavorable conditions. The event is planned to be held rain or shine. Sponsors listed include TRUMotion Therapy (Gold) and Matthews Dental Care (Silver). Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
