We are excited to bring the We ❤️ Teachers 5K to Charlotte! We can't wait to celebrate the teachers, staff & administrators of the Queen City!
Educators & the community coming together to run, laugh, dance & appreciate good health. You don't have to run -you can walk, you can watch, you can cheer, you can sponsor and you can volunteer! However you decide to participate, you're going to have fun! For the past 14 years, we have worked with teachers to improve their health and wellness.
The race will be held in beautiful McAlpine Park in Charlotte. If you can't make it, but still want to support the cause, sign up for the Virtual Race.
All 5K participants receive T-shirts & Finisher Medals. T-shirts will be handed out after the race.
Race will be chip timed.
Award Categories: Overall Male and Female. Top 3 Male and Female - 14 & Under, 15-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60+. Top 3 overall Non-Binary participants.
