Q Fitness and Wellness 5K
Q Fitness and Wellness 5K is a community 5 kilometer run and walk held at McAlpine Creek Park on June 13, 2026, in Charlotte, North Carolina. The event is scheduled to take place rain or shine and uses McAlpine Creek Park, 8711 Monroe Rd, as its venue.
The event serves as the official kickoff to Charlotte's Pride season and, for the first time, the annual QFW5K benefits Charlotte Pride, an organization that brings together LGBTQ+ people and allies from across the region for visibility, advocacy, and belonging. The event description notes that proceeds support the organization that organizes Pride in Charlotte.
The 5K welcomes runners, walkers, families, and allies. The listed registration fee for the 5K Run & Walk is $33.75. Because the event has a fundraising component, registrations are non refundable. Race management reserves the right to cancel or modify the event for unfavorable conditions, and registration fees are not refundable in the event of cancellation due to Acts of God.
Packet pickup is scheduled for June 12 at Q Fitness and Wellness at 3508 The Plaza, Charlotte, NC. The event lists sponsors such as Bar Argon Sidelines, CLT Geek Inc., and Moon Massage Therapy, and vendors including Charlotte Black Pride, Charlotte Pride FC, Charlotte Roller Derby, Charlotte Trans Health, HopeWay, Lionel Lee Jr. Center for Wellness, Meridian Wellness Platform, PFLAG Charlotte, and Time Out Youth.
