Right Moves for Youth Twilight 5K

The Right Moves for Youth Twilight 5K Road Race & Walk is an annual event held in Charlotte, North Carolina. The 29th edition of this race takes place in the Uptown area, with the start and finish lines located at First Ward Park.

The event features two main participation options:

  • 5K Run/Walk
  • Kids Fun Run/Walk

The 3.1-mile course begins at First Ward Park and follows a fast, flat section towards the Elizabeth area. Participants return toward Uptown, facing an incline on 7th Street that offers views of the city skyline. The race is open to runners, walkers, and joggers of all fitness levels.

Registered participants receive a race shirt and a medal, though these are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. To guarantee a t-shirt, participants must register by April 20. The event serves as a fundraiser for Right Moves For Youth, a school-based development program that supports middle and high school students in Mecklenburg County through partnerships with local schools and law enforcement. In addition to the physical races, a "Phantom Runner" option and a "Fundraise Only" category are available for those who wish to support the organization without running. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
