Charlotte Racefest
Course Information:
Charlotte Racefest at Southpark, Charlotte, North Carolina on April 12, 2008
Course Description
The 2008 course will start and finish in close proximity to the Doubletree Suites at SouthPark. Participants will enjoy a scenic and rolling loop course in South Charlotte. For a detailed course map, please visit the Maps page.
Runner Support
Gatorade and water stops will be positioned at the start and approximately every mile for the Half Marathon and 10K. A map listing specific locations will be available at Packet Pick-up and online. Portable restrooms will be stationed at the Start/Finish line area, and at the 10K and Half Marathon turnarounds.
Timing
ChampionChip computer timing will be used for both the Half Marathon and 10K. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department requires the event to maintain a 3 hour pace. If at any time Half Marathon participants are not maintaining at least a 3 hour pace, they will be asked by police to move to the sidewalk. Entering its seventh year, the Charlotte RaceFest Half Marthon and 10K will once again take place in the wonderful SouthPark area of Charlotte, NC. Thanks to the support of our participants and sponsors, the Charlotte RaceFest at SouthPark has become a main feature of the spring running circuit in the Southeast region.
Added to the Running Journal Grand Prix Series in 2003, the event takes advantage of the great spring date and southern hospitality that Charlotte is known for.
Of course, we want to reiterate that our commitment to maintaining a first-class event for our participants is our highest priority. Schedule of Events
