Run 4 the Border - Charlotte, NC
Run 4 the Border takes place on August 8, 2026, in Charlotte, North Carolina. The event offers multiple trail distances that use the city's Greenway system and start near Park Road Shopping Center at 4337 Park Rd.
Distances offered:
- Churros 12K
- Dos Tacos 24K
- The Whole Enchilada 50K
The course follows well-maintained, paved paths through urban parks, bridges, and greenway corridors. The terrain is described as flat and non-technical. Runners may step up or drop down in distance during the event, depending on how they feel.
Aid and support are unconventional for this event. The event is cupless; participants must bring a refillable bottle for hydration. Designated aid stops are located at Taco Bell restaurants, where a Wheel of Fate determines food items available at each stop. Purchases may be required at these stops.
Practical details include a shirt printing cutoff on July 20, and registration closes on August 7, 2026. The event is organized by Urban Runners, a group that mixes community running with themed, informal endurance events. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
