The Novant Health Charlotte Marathon is the Queen City's only full marathon, a rolling uptown-to-neighborhood tour through Myers Park and NoDa, starting and finishing in Uptown Charlotte. It is a USATF-certified Boston qualifier with a 6-hour time limit and about +1,044 ft (318 m) of total climbing.

Why attend here

Running this loop in mid-November means crisp, cool air and fewer crowds, letting you soak in the Queen City's leafy boulevards and vibrant murals in NoDa and Plaza Midwood without the summer humidity. Afterward, warm up with a hearty bowl of Carolina-style barbecue and a local craft brew in South End, where the rail trail buzzes with post-race energy.

A rolling, scenic loop that starts and finishes in Uptown Charlotte and showcases the Queen City's most distinctive neighborhoods. After leaving the glass-tower skyline the route tours Eastover and the tree-lined boulevards of upscale Myers Park, then Dilworth, South End and Wilmore before swinging through the artsy NoDa district, Plaza Midwood and stretches of greenway, finishing back uptown on 4th Street near Mint Street.
