JAN 18; FEB 8, 14, 15, & 22

Race #2 now held on Sunday, February 8


We are very excited to announce we are heading back to Renaissance Park for the 23rd edition of the KASK Winter Short Track Series p/b Audi Charlotte & CITGO. Start 2 Finish and our incredible group of sponsors are working together to host a world class short track race series, just like the other amazing two-wheel events they organize and host.

The series is five races providing participants a unique and fun style of racing on a 1.3 mile trail combines elements of BMX, cyclo-cross and single-track...it's super fast and very spectator-friendly. Participants, based on category, will race 4 to 8 laps on the fast course. All of the events will be held at Renaissance park. We plan to have a food truck, an event photographer, and music at all of the events.

The series awards will be handed out after the last race in the series. It will take a little more time as each will need to be calculated. We will have a podium presentation for the top 5 overall in each category.


If you are a junior, you can race up an age group but you cannot race down. Opposite goes for adults. Adults can race down an age group but NOT up. If you turn 19 in 2026, you are considered an adult and will register in an adult category.

Races are held RAIN or SHINE!

We will once again have race primes for ALL categories from our presenting sponsors of each race in the series.

Team Competition

We are bringing back the coveted Team Competition for the 23rd edition of the Winter Short Track Series!! The team competition will consist of team members across all categories earning points. The points will be derived from a system called "Pack Points". Pack Points are based upon the number of people racing in your category, with a minimum of 10 points for the winner. The top six people from your team will be scored.

1st Place Team - $700

2nd Place Team - $300

3rd Place Team - $175

4th Place Team - $125

    Course Distance: 200 YARD SWIM – 8 MILE BIKE – 2 MILE RUN

    TRIATHLON (Swim, bike, and run and relay option):

    Swim: Your event kicks off with a 200 yard swim in the indoor pool of the Harris YMCA. Swimmers will be self seeded according to the swim ability chart. Volunteers will be on hand to assist with lining up for the swim. You will be provided with a swim cap if you choose to wear it. After the swim, you'll experience the exhilaration of exiting the pool to the sound of cheers as you make your way to the transition area.

    Bike: The bike is 8 miles on a 2 loop course. The bike course showcases the beautiful South Park area of Charlotte. It begins with a nice downhill section on Quail Hollow Road. The bike course has 5 major right-hand turns and includes Gleneagles Rd, Park Rd, and Sharon Rd.

    Run: The majority of the run course keeps runners on the YMCA campus and close to the spectators. It’s an out-and-back course that includes quiet neighborhood roads. The great thing is that you’ll be able to share the energy with your fellow athletes as you approach the finish line!

    Finish line party: Celebrate with your family and friends and take in your accomplishment!

    Run in the New Year with us at the 4th annual NOON Year's Eve 5K presented by Patterson Heating & Air Conditioning! This popular holiday 5K sold out the first three years, so we're expecting a full house again in 2026.

    The 5K kicks off with a traditional New Year's Eve countdown at NOON! All paces are welcome. Runners (and walkers!) will enjoy a certified cross country course with scenic views of the lake and surrounding parkland.

    SWAG

    If you love swag, we've got you covered! 5K participants will receive a long sleeve, branded race shirt, a finisher medal and post-race lunch/beverages. Make sure you sign up early to secure your swag though, as we do expect another sellout. If you prefer to keep it simple, we offer a "Go Green" option where runners can opt out of a shirt and medal (but you still get to enjoy the post-race sustenance!).

    RACE COURSES

    The 5K course begins and ends in McAlpine Creek Park. This is a certified 5K course consisting of crushed gravel surface - perfect for pushing yourself for a new PR!

    The Noon Year's Eve Kids Dash course is ~ 0.20 mile, flat sprint perfect for nearly all ages. The kiddos will start at the 5K start line and cut across a crushed gravel path to take a "shortcut" to the finish line. Parents are welcome to accompany their kids on this fun run!

    Visit our courses page for more details, including MapMyRun links!

    AWARDS

    Visit our awards page for details on overall and age group awards, including our exclusive awards for the fastest LAST MILE of 2026!

    KIDS DASH

    The NOON Year's Eve Kids Dash starts at 12:45 pm. The little ones dash 0.25 miles from the start to finish line and receive their own branded finisher medal.
