Feed Charlotte 5K
Feed Charlotte 5K is a fundraising run and walk organized by the Stride Forward Foundation, a nonprofit founded by Charlotte area high school students. The event takes place at McAlpine Creek Park, 8711 Monroe Road, Charlotte, NC on August 8, 2026. The listed race distance is 5K and the course follows the park trails used for large local and regional high school races, including the Brooks South XC Regional Championships.
All profits from the event are designated for food banks in the Charlotte area. The event page lists donations raised so far at $1,436.13 toward a $4,000 goal, and shows 72 participants registered. Sponsors on record include TRUMotion Therapy at the Gold level and Matthews Dental Care at the Silver level.
Registration options include the 5K run walk and a Sleep in Supporter category. Posted fees for the 5K range from about $44.79 to $50.14 depending on registration timing. Participants who register for the 5K by July 17, 2026 and attend the event or packet pickup are guaranteed a race t shirt in their size; later registrants may select from remaining sizes while supplies last. Registration policies note that refunds are not available unless enrolled in the Refund Protection Program, that management may cancel or modify the event, and that fees are not refundable in the event of cancellation due to Acts of God.
