Eve Carson Memorial 5K for Education

Last Year we added the 5K along with the 10K race and it was a big success so we will continue with the two races this year. If you are signing up for the Le Tour de Carrboro a three race series benefiting Carrboro Area Charities, you will need to choose to do either the 5K or the 10K as part of the series. The Carrboro 10K is 6.2 miles, the Carrboro 5K is 3.1 miles. Both races start at 8 a.m. at McDougle Middle School, wind through Carrboro neighborhoods, and finish on the McDougle track. NOTE: THE 5K RACE IS CAPPED AT 250 PARTICIPANTS SO REGISTER EARLY!

We have the best deal in the Triangle with registration fees for either race at only $35! So sign up now and help us to support our Community Partners.

Course Distance: 250 YARD SWIM – 9 MILE BIKE – 2 MILE RUN

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

Swim: The 250 yard swim takes place in the 5-lane pool of the UNC Wellness Center. Swimmers will enter and exit the pool area through separate doors. 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, located in the parking lot outside the pool area.

Bike: Once you mount your bike on Meadowmont Lane, you’ll take a right on Sprunt Street and then navigate your way through the beautiful streets of Meadowmont. Please be careful coming down all hills as there are sharp turns ahead. Pinehurst Drive will take you along the beautiful golf course and out towards Ephesus Church Road. After turning right onto Pope Rd and Old Chapel Hill Road, you’ll then take a right on Farrington Road, which is straight and fast. Bring it home via Route 54 and before you know it you’ll hear the cowbells ringing at the race site.

Run: The out-and-back run course starts and finishes on a charming greenway. The bulk of the run goes through the quiet residential streets of Meadowmont. Enjoy the tour of the lovely homes, each with large front porches and unique architecture. You’ll have a chance to grab a cool drink at both ends of the run course.

*Triathlon, aquathlon, duathlon and triathlon relay options available. Aquathlon is simply swim and run. Duathlon is run, bike, run. These are great introductions into multisport and perfect for daughters to participate with mom, aunt or grandma!

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