Event
The Greensboro Distilling Speakeasy is a night road race held on Saturday, June 13, 2026, in downtown Greensboro, North Carolina. The event uses a USATF-certified, measured 5K out-and-back course that runs on well-lit city streets. The finish area includes a speakeasy-themed post-race celebration with live jazz music and drinks made with Fainting Goat Spirits or beer from SouthEnd Brewing. The race is listed as the fourth event in the North Carolina Road Mega Medal Series; finisher medals from each race in the series connect to form a larger mega medal.
