Lace up for a one-of-a-kind race through history! The Drop Dead 5K returns this fall with our unique course winding through the peaceful, scenic paths of Charlotte’s Historic Elmwood Pinewood Cemetery. Covering 70+ acres, this resting place is home to some of the city’s most notable names.

In addition to the 5K, the event features a food truck, DJ, an award ceremony, and a guided tour after the race.

Your registration fee includes:

• Official race shirt

• Custom race bib

• Finisher medal

Please note that pricing is now all-inclusive of fees.

Bring your crew and run as a team! Cheer each other on, celebrate those finish-line victories, and make the 5K a 'spirited' shared adventure!

Kids Fun Run! We are excited to bring back our 1 Mile Kids Fun Run! The race will take place at 10 a.m. This is FREE for kids (registration is required) and includes a fun run finisher medal.
