South Park 5K 2026

The South Park 5K, also known as The Loop 5K, is a spring road race in Charlotte, North Carolina, taking place in the SouthPark area. The course follows The Loop, a 3.1-mile urban trail designed to link various points within the neighborhood, making it a community-focused run rather than a race through a remote park. Participants will run along the tree-lined streets surrounding SouthPark Mall, navigating a moderately challenging course with rolling hills. The event attracts competitive runners, families, and casual joggers. The finish line opens into a block party featuring music, food, and local vendor stalls.
