39th Annual Elizabeth 8K

Saturday, April 26, 2025

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 1,300 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.


SPONSORS. We are overwhelmed with gratitude towards our extraordinary local, regional, and national sponsors, whose unwavering support is crucial to the success of this race. Their generous contributions not only bring this event to life but also elevate the experience for all participants. We kindly invite you to honor their commitment by patronizing their businesses.
