    WHEN: Saturday, February 14, 2026, from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. EST

    WHO: Anyone looking for a challenge to raise funds for a great cause.

    WHAT: This is an F3 + FiA convergence event to raise funds for The American Heart Association in honor of our fallen F3 brother, Rick Pinto.

    This event is free to attend, but a suggested donation of $35 is appreciated. All proceeds benefit The American Heart Association via The F3 Foundation.

    We will have something for everyone, regardless of fitness level: co-ed bootcamp and gear workouts at varying levels, as well as run/ruck/walk options. This year, we're offering special workout events for 2.0s! This is a family-friendly event for anyone looking to get outside & raise awareness by supporting the cause.

    Honoring Rick Pinto by supporting the American Heart Association

    Rick "Gremlin" Pinto

    9/30/1967 – 1/13/2018

    Rick Pinto’s story is one of transformation, love, and legacy. Born in Somerville, New Jersey, Rick dedicated his life to his family, his faith, and his community. After years of focusing on others, Rick made the courageous decision to reclaim his health—not just for himself, but for those he loved most. He traded his riding mower for a push mower, joined F3 (where he earned the name “Gremlin”), and began a journey that took him from his first 5K to completing a marathon in less than a year.

    Rick’s commitment to fitness was matched only by his devotion as a husband, father, coach, and church leader. He inspired everyone around him to live with purpose and heart. Tragically, Rick passed away following an 18-mile training run in January 2018, but his legacy of perseverance and positive impact lives on. Each year, his friends and family honor him with a workout called “The Gremlin.”

    Today, we invite you to honor Rick’s memory by supporting the American Heart Association. Your donation helps fund life-saving research, education, and advocacy—empowering families to live longer, healthier lives. Let’s run with perseverance, just as Rick did, and make a difference together.

    Donate in Rick’s memory. Together, we are champions for heart health.

    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

    About the Race and ASMC

    Autism Services of Mecklenburg County (ASMC for short). ASMC is a 501(c)(3) not for profit providing housing and services for adults with autism right here in Charlotte since 1979 and they are WONDERFUL!

    All entry fee profits go directly to ASMC to keep them running great. - Just like you will be doing at this race when you sign up!

    Why Superheroes?

    Hi, my name is Tony Scotto di Carlo and I have served on ASMC's board for 16 years and my brother Thomas is a resident at one of ASMC's wonderful group homes. We've picked the Superhero theme because many of ASMC's residents, (including my brother), love Superheroes and we want them to be super excited and surprised when they see hundreds of caped crusaders in full superhero gear running at once. That means you BTW! - sign up now! (Also, let's be honest, Superheroes are just awesome)

    We're delighted that you are here. If you are not a runner, sign up and walk or just make a donation. ASMC will appreciate any amount!

    Thank you for your generosity - YOU ARE A SUPERHERO!

    Friday, April 17 & Saturday, April 18

    Run with the Dogwoods

    Charlotte Racefest is celebrating its 25th anniversary as the premier spring half marathon welcoming thousands to the streets of Charlotte through multiple distances. From a Half Marathon to a 10K to a Mile to a Kid’s Dash, this festival of running has something for every runner to celebrate. We are proud to work hand and hand with communities that surround SouthPark Mall to raise money for Go Jen Go, our beneficiary helping navigate breast cancer.

    In 2026, Crown Collective, the team that brings you events like Around the Crown 10K, Forward Motion, and NoDa 5K has taken the reigns on the legacy of Charlotte Racefest. We're keeping a lot of the pieces that you know and love, but we're also putting our own charm on it.

    Updated Course: The start/finish line will now be in the parking lot by Symphony Park and the first and last 2 miles will be on Sharon Road and Carnegie Boulevard. This will help with corralling and growth as the years tick on.

    Rebrand: We're excited to honor the 25th running of Charlotte Racefest with an updated brand to highlight the pop of Spring we get to experience here in the Southeast through the colors and font you'll see throughout the brand.

    Pillars: The core tenants you've come to expect at Crown Collective events will be brought to the marketing and start line of Racefest. We'll be bringing an emphasis of sustainability, inclusivity, and a pure love for Charlotte from here on out.

    2026 Race Swag: At Crown Collective, we’re proud to continue to work with our partner in sustainability, Recover, for the 2026 shirt. On top of that, our newest partner, Badges and Medals, also has a focus on sustainability for your 2026 medal. In total, the shirt and medal helps remove 10 plastic bottles from the landfill and looks damn good while it does.

    This year’s design speaks to the state flower of North Carolina, the flowering dogwood, which you’ll see along the brand new course. It's bold, yet clean, making it wearable way beyond race day with a subtle flex of your running status. This hand drawn rendition of our favorite flora on the back of shirt and front of the medal is where the design really comes to life.

    Shirt Upgrade: Yep, we had to take it one step further. We’re excited to work with a new product from Recover, their custom long sleeve Sport Stretch. This new material is tech, but buttery soft - the perfect feel for those cooler mornings that like to stick around in the spring in the South.

    The Brooks Mile: This corralled, family friendly race is made for those chasing sub 5 or sub 15 all kicking off at 7pm the night before the big day! That means we’re adding the opportunity to race Friday night as well as Saturday morning and kick off our distance challenges. Those running the mile will receive a technical Brooks tee or have the opportunity to upgrade to an elite Brooks tank!

    Introducing The Loop 5K: Charlotte's newest road race event kicking off the spring season in Charlotte, NC and promoting fitness and wellness in the heart of SouthPark.

    The inaugural race takes place along The Loop, a 3.1 mile urban trail that creates and connects great places throughout the SouthPark community. The route takes runners along the tree-lined streets surrounding SouthPark Mall, providing a blend of urban and suburban scenery. It's a moderately challenging course with some rolling hills, making it perfect for both beginners and experienced runners. This race is open to all, from competitive runners aiming for a fast finish to families and casual joggers who enjoy the relaxed, community-focused atmosphere.

    The Post-Race Festival will feature music, food, and local vendor booths, creating an energetic atmosphere beyond the finish line. The Loop 5K is far more than just a race… it’s an annual gathering that celebrates active outdoor living in Charlotte.

Every dollar raised goes directly to providing financial assistance to patients in need, ensuring they can continue their journey toward better health and quality of life. We’ll also celebrate and honor heart transplant and VAD recipients at the event, many of

    whom will be walking or running alongside you. The 5K takes place at McAlpine Creek Park. Parking: Park Rangers will direct participants on where to park once inside the park and will ensure that accessible parking is available. Register early to ensure you secure your race shirt!

    This fun run is to empower kids, to remind them that they CAN do hard things!

    This event is for kids under the age of 12 and for all abilities wanting to participate in a shorter distance (wheelchairs, personal guides, support animals, and other forms of assistance are welcome).

    • It is never too early to start talking to kids about mental health and we are trying to pave the way for brighter futures for young minds *

    Mental health affects all people of all ages, it is just as important as physical health and it does not discriminate. This event isn't just a race; it's a powerful movement to create awareness while finding hope in solidarity.

    We hope that whatever you may be dealing with, that running is one of the things that helps you get through the challenging days and that you have the community to support you when you need it.

    We all go through times that can challenge our mental health.

    Let's normalize that with more visibility and presence within our community as we continue to amplify the conversation surrounding mental health and build a brighter future.

    Invite your friends & family and enjoy the post race party/festival with delicious food trucks, vendors, petting zoo, yoga, acupuncture, and more! Plan to bring a form of payment to enjoy these amazing vendors and support CLT small businesses!

    What is a stadium climb?

    During the stadium climb, participants will go up and down the stairs around the lower level of the stadium, on a predetermined route. We will finish by going down the ramps inside the stadium, and enter onto the playing field through the tunnel the Panthers use.

    How long is the T2T Stadium Climb at the Bank of America Stadium?

    You will be climbing up and down the entire first level of the Bank of America Stadium. Climbers will finish by exiting on to the field through the tunnel the players use. There are a total of 1,454 stair steps along the route.

    Is there a limit on how many people can register?

    No! The more the merrier.

    How long does the T2T stadium climb take?

    This depends on your fitness level as well as speed and time spent resting. Everyone will finish at a different pace. Competitive Climbers may finish in less than 8 minutes, while non-competitive participants will likely finish in 15-45 minutes.

    Is this a timed climb?

    Yes. Each climber will get a timing chip. In order to receive an accurate time, please make sure your bib is clearly visible on the front of your shirt. Check back shortly for information on wave assignments and the link to the website with official results!

    I might get tired and be unable to finish, what should I do?

    Slower climbers should move to the right, allowing faster climbers to pass on the left. If you cannot complete the climb, just find a volunteer or staff member who can escort you to the nearest rest area and direct you to the field.

    I’m a first responder; can I wear my bunker/turnout gear, scott packs, etc.?

    Yes, you may wear turnout gear. We encourage it!

    What is a "Competitive Climber”?
