The 49er Gold Rush 5K has become a signature February tradition at UNC Charlotte. Hosted by University Recreation, the race is open to all—students, faculty and staff, alumni, and community members alike. Whether you’re racing for a personal best or just showing up for the experience, everyone’s invited to be part of the run! Net proceeds from our Annual 49er Gold Rush 5K Run/Walk will benefit the University Recreation Student Professional Development Fund. This year, our annual 49er Gold Rush 5K will be held on Saturday, February 7, 2026.
