About the Charlotte Craft Beer Half Marathon - Relay & 5 Miler
The course splits its time between paved greenway trail through the woods and open neighborhood roads. Runners leave Brixham Park, loop through a corporate area, then drop onto the McAlpine Greenway for the middle stretch before returning to roads and finishing back at the park. The trail section feels like a genuine break from pavement.
Packet pickup happens twice before race day: an afternoon window at a local running store, and then an evening party at a brewery the night before. Carpooling is encouraged, and there are several corporate lots near Brixham Park. Local craft breweries are at the finish, which is also where the awards happen.
