The Labor Day Trail Race in Charlotte, NC is a trail running event offering two measured distances on natural trails. Available options include:

  • 5K with ascent +258 ft.
  • 15K with ascent +725 ft.

Registration is open for each distance with pre-registration and day-of fees listed. Pre-registration fees and the last day to pre-register are specified for both distances. Packet pick-up is scheduled the day before the race at the South Conference Center; a stated time window is provided for collection.

All participants must sign the Whitewater Center Assumption of Risk Agreement before participating; the waiver may be printed and brought to packet pick-up or completed on site and is not included in the online registration form. Race registration is non-refundable.

E-bikes and other powered transportation are not permitted in Whitewater Race Series events. Events are scheduled to proceed rain or shine, with the Whitewater Center reserving the right to alter, reschedule, or cancel events. Parking fees and oversized parking fees apply at the Whitewater Center. In an emergency participants must call 911; the Center does not conduct trail rescues.
