Charlotte Sports Foundation and Albemarle present Meck Mile, ‘The race designed for everyone’

The Meck Mile presented by Albemarle brings people together from all across Charlotte to run, walk, skip or dance their way through the streets surrounding Memorial Stadium. This one-mile race gives participants and spectators alike the chance to hit the streets and see the city we call home from an entirely new perspective.

Whether you’re aiming to hit a new personal best, or are just looking for a unique active outing for the whole family, the Meck Mile presented by Albemarle is bringing Charlotte together to show who really runs (or walks) this city.

After the race we’re throwing a party for all participants that includes a Legion Beer Garden, concert stage, kids zone, sponsor activations and more!

To create the best event for everyone, we have created the following participant categories:

  • Recreational: You pick your pace and have an hour to walk, dance, run or stroll your way through the mile course.
  • Kids: We’re offering a “Kids Dash” for kids 5 and under and a half mile loop for children 11 and under. Kids can race for free thanks to Albemarle.
  • Competitive: For runners who can complete a sub-12-minute mile.
  • Elite: For competitive runners who can complete a mile in sub-5 minutes for men and sub-5:30 for women. $2000 prize purse.
  • Pro: For some of the fastest runners on the planet. $20,000 prize purse. Contact Charlotte Sports Foundation (info@charlottesports.org) if interested in competing in this division.

SIGN UP by May 10th with the promo code ALLIANCE for $7.04 off your entries!
