Registration Kickoff
It’s time to kick off another year of opening up Charlotte’s inner beltway to thousands of runners and 2026 is already looking to be a big one! We’re looking for our 8th year to break barriers once again when it comes to registration totals, inclusivity throughout the corrals, and a brand new course built for growth for years to come!
To make it even bigger this year, we’re inviting the entire Crown Collective family and we’ve got deals and goodies from all of our races. This will include Charlotte Racefest, NoDa 5K presented by NoDa Brewing, and of course Around the Crown 10K Together with Truist! The first 100 registrants for ATC10K will receive a custom coffee mug, 50 lucky runners for NoDa 5K will be snagging pint glasses, and Charlotte Racefest has a water bottle for the first 50 ready to take on a spring half or 10K!
The Launch Party is back on January 10th, from 3-5pm. We’ll kick everything off with a jog starting from NoDa Brewing’s North End taproom and a party to follow. There will be a 1 and 3 mile route at a come-as-you-are pace to get warmed up during these crisp winter days. High five yourself with a beer or HOP₂O once you return to the taproom and we’ll get the party started with live music, some big raffle prizes, some good food, and as always, a reunion style party to catch up with old friends.
If you are able to join us at the party, you will receive a one-day-only-locals-steal-of-a-deal registration price of $40, an entry into our raffle of goodies, and an opportunity to purchase brand-new winter ATC10K merch. On top of that, the first 100 to register will get a beer or HOP₂O on our tab, and that custom ATC10K coffee mug.
General registration will also open online Saturday, 1/10, at 3:00pm at $45 until Friday, January 16th when it will then raise to $50. Get in early so you can get the best price to run on the highway in 2026!
