Q Fitness and Wellness 5K
The Q Fitness and Wellness 5K takes place at McAlpine Creek Park in Charlotte, North Carolina. This athletic event serves as the official kickoff for the local Pride season. The race is scheduled for June 13, 2026, and will proceed regardless of rain or sun conditions.
The event features a single distance option for participants:
- 5K Run and Walk
The course is located at 8711 Monroe Road. Participants may choose to run or walk the distance. The event functions as a fundraiser, with proceeds benefiting Charlotte Pride, the region's largest Pride organization focused on visibility and advocacy for the LGBTQ+ community and its allies.
Packet pickup is organized for the day before the event at the Q Fitness and Wellness facility located at 3508 The Plaza. Various community vendors and sponsors are involved in the event, including organizations such as Charlotte Pride FC, Charlotte Roller Derby, and Charlotte Trans Health. Due to the fundraising nature of the event, registration fees are non-refundable. Awards are presented as part of the scheduled activities, though specific categories follow general race management protocols. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
