MOVE: A Carbon Negative & Fat Ass Style Random Run

Join a unique and purpose-driven community gathering at MOVE: A Carbon Negative & Fat Ass Style Random Run set for Saturday, January 31, 2026 in Huntersville, North Carolina. This innovative event replaces traditional registration fees with a meaningful requirement: each participant must collect two bags of litter before the run, contributing directly to environmental cleanup. A suggested donation supports Sustain Charlotte, with 100% of proceeds funding equitable and healthy community growth in the region.

The run embodies a "Fat Ass" style—minimalist and community-focused—with a random distance determined on race day, adding an element of surprise and shared adventure. The event is rigorously carbon-negative, enforcing a cup-free and safety-pin-free policy while offering recycling for old shirts, shoes, and race medals. It’s more than a run; it's a collective action for the planet and the local community.
