We’ll see you up at the lake for the Novant Health Lake Norman 15k and 5k runs! These are some of our favorite courses in the Charlotte area. Choose from a fun, family-friendly 5k with just a few turns, or a 15k that stretches out across the fingers of the peninsula – it’s a beautiful thing. Either way, you’ll be glad you got up to run with us.

And yes, this is a Sunday event! Join in on the fun and the run, and post-race brews from our partners at Adams Beverage. We’ll see you then and there for the final events of the 2026 Run Charlotte season presented by Novant Health.
