Charlotte Craft Beer Half Marathon - Relay & 5 Miler 2027

The Charlotte Craft Beer Half Marathon, Relay & 5 Miler begins at Brixham Park in Charlotte's Ballantyne area, operating as a spring event focused on running and the local craft beer community. Participants can select the half marathon, the 5 miler, a relay for teams of up to three, or virtual options for the half and 5 miler. Pacers are also available for the race. The half marathon route divides equally between greenway and road sections, featuring miles on North Charlotte greenway paths before transitioning to paved streets. This event has sold out each year, indicating strong local interest and the importance of early registration. Ivy Rehab sponsors the race, and its craft beer theme contributes to a more social Charlotte atmosphere compared to a standard road race.
