Join us for the 5th annual Community 5K Run/Walk on Saturday, September 7:30 AM at McAlpine Creek Park in Charlotte, where your participation directly supports the Community Kitchen Program—a free culinary training initiative helping underserved community members, including immigrants and refugees, build careers in the food industry. With 117 participants already enrolled in this vital program, your entry fee makes a real difference in keeping this completely free training opportunity running. All registered runners will enjoy a free limited-edition 2026 commemorative item as a thank-you for being part of this meaningful community event!
