8K Road Race | 1.5 Mile Run/Walk | Liz Kid's Run
ELIZABETH 8K is a family-friendly event with a competitive course hosted in Charlotte, NC. Taking place each Spring and welcoming over 1,000 runners to one of the city's oldest and most beautiful neighborhoods, the Elizabeth 8K has been a Charlotte favorite for almost 4 decades. The race starts and finishes just off of Elizabeth Avenue with the majority of the route weaving its way through the historic, tree-lined streets. Participants have several events to choose from:
An 8K timed race for the competitive type: This course provides a fantastic tour of the scenic residential and commercial streets of the Elizabeth neighborhood.
A 1.5M untimed run/walk for the casual participants: Join your friends for a brisk walk, go for a jog with your kids, or just get outdoors for a nice stroll through the neighborhood with your coffee.
The Liz Kids’ Fun Run for the little ones: Even the little ones can get in on the action with this FREE fun ~50-yard dash. It’s for kids six years of age and younger, and no registration is needed.
Proceeds benefit the beautification of the historic Elizabeth neighborhood, and TreesCharlotte, a public/private nonprofit collaboration to grow, diversify and steward Charlotte's iconic urban forest.
Important notes and reminders (updated 4/17)
1. Race shirts are going, going .... mostly gone
The deadline for guaranteeing a shirt was April 10th, as was communicated on our website, social media and email. If we have shirts left over after the event, we will hold a pick-up at Hawthorne’s pizza on a date to be determined that we will communicate after the race. We will also have some vintage race shirts at packet pickup for those who do not get a shirt.
2. Refunds are not possible, but transfers are
There are no refunds for this race if you did not purchase the Refund Protection Program, but you are able to transfer your registration to a someone else. Click here for transfer instructions.
3. Don't get left behind! Stay at 13:45 minutes per mile or better.
CMPD and the City of Charlotte requires that participants be able to complete the 8K distance in ~68 minutes, which equates to 13:45 minutes per mile. If you fail to maintain this pace, you will be asked to move to the side walk for your safety and that of our race staff.
