This event benefits Carolina NeuroSurgery & Spine Education & Research Foundation, which is a 501(c)3 providing philanthropic support to Carolina Neurosurgery & Spine Associates patients. This event allows our community to partner with us through local engagement and sponsorship opportunities as we lead the charge to support those in our community affected by brain tumors.
The race will begin and finish at Carolina NeuroSurgery & Spine Associates' Charlotte Office on Baldwin Avenue, located in the heart of Midtown. Participants will run along a scenic course through one of the most beautiful neighborhoods of the Queen City.
