Join us Saturday, November 1, 2025 rain or shine at 9:00 AM for this year's Drop Dead 5K!
The Drop Dead 5K returns this fall with our unique course winding through the peaceful, scenic paths of Charlotte’s Historic Elmwood Pinewood Cemetery. Covering 70+ acres, this resting place is home to some of the city’s most notable names.
In addition to the 5K, the event features a food truck, DJ, an award ceremony, and a guided tour after the race.
Kids Fun Run! We are excited to bring back our 1 Mile Kids Fun Run! The race will take place at 10 a.m. This is FREE for kids (registration is required) and includes a fun run finisher medal.
