Running with the Law 5K/10K
Now in its second year, this downtown run blends friendly competition and community connection as participants take to the riverfront and city streets alongside local law enforcement. Officers will be on the course offering encouragement and high fives, creating a playful atmosphere with photo opportunities and plenty of support. After a record-setting turnout last year, the Record-Breaker Challenge invites the community to surpass those registration numbers and bring even more energy to the route. Every entry benefits the NC Special Olympics, providing local athletes with resources to train, compete, and chase their gold medal goals. It is an upbeat celebration inspired by the spirit of National Night Out, focused on making a positive impact while enjoying an urban course.
