Water for People Charlotte 5K

The Water for People Charlotte 5K takes place at McAlpine Creek Park in Charlotte, North Carolina. This event supports a non-profit organization dedicated to providing reliable and safe water and sanitation services in Latin America, East Africa, and India. The race is held on the McAlpine Creek Cross Country Course, which features a mostly flat and partially shaded terrain.

Participants can choose from three distinct event formats:

  • Timed 5K: A competitive division where participants wear a bib with a timing chip to capture official results.
  • Non-Timed 5K: A non-competitive division for those who do not wish to have their time recorded.
  • Virtual 5K: A remote option allowing participants to log results from any location between April 25th and midnight.

The course is open to a wide range of participants, including runners, joggers, walkers, and those using strollers. The event is also pet-friendly. For virtual participants, registration includes a t-shirt shipped to their address if the sign-up is completed by early April. This gathering serves as a point of connection for individuals interested in the water and wastewater industry as well as the general public.
