Novant Health Charlotte Half Marathon
November 4, 2023 – 7:20 am
Get all the pomp and circumstance, all the guts and glory, smiles and tears of marathon weekend with only half the distance. (Perhaps half the chafing, too?) Either way, you’ll earn your stripes and your finisher’s medal — and be among the first to the post-race festivities!
