Race Info

The Novant Health Lake Norman 15K & 5K is a running event on Sunday, October 11, 2026. It includes the following events: 5K and 15K.

We’ll see you up at the lake for the Novant Health Lake Norman 15k and 5k runs! These are some of our favorite courses in the Charlotte area. Choose from a fun, family-friendly 5k with just a few turns, or a 15k that stretches out across the fingers of the peninsula – it’s a beautiful thing. Either way, you’ll be glad you got up to run with us. And yes, this is a Sunday event! Join in on the fun and the run, and post-race brews from our partners at Adams Beverage. We’ll see you then and there for the final events of the 2026 Run Charlotte season presented by Novant Health.
