Charlotte, NC
Entry is $45 now and rises to $50 after Sep 30, 2026, so registering before then saves $5.
The full marathon here is the only one in the city, which gives the weekend a particular weight. There are also shorter distances on the same weekend, so groups with different goals can race together. Charlotte's streets make up the course, so you move through neighborhoods and past downtown landmarks rather than looping a park.
