Novant Health Charlotte Marathon

In keeping with the Charlotte area’s NASCAR roots, the Novant Charlotte Marathon, Half Marathon and 5K offer the chance to run through one of the Southeast’s greenest, most scenic cities, on a race that starts with a green stock car racing flag and ends with a waving checkered flag. Formerly known as the Thunder Road Marathon & Half Marathon, the event was renamed the Charlotte Marathon & Half Marathon in 2016 to reflect the love of the city.
