## Description

Join the 3rd Annual Belarusian Carolinas Trails Friends Run!

We’re excited to welcome you back to Park Road Park for a morning of running, walking, and community. Choose the 1M (white track) or 5K (red track). Both routes welcome runners and walkers of all ages and abilities, so bring your family and friends!

This year, all proceeds benefit Grandma’s House (Дом у Бабулі), a Belarusian-American initiative helping provide meals and overnight stays for Ukrainians in need.

Event Details:

• Date: Saturday, December 5, 2026
• Registration opens: 8:30 AM
• Races start: 10:00 AM
• Location: Park Road Park, 6220 Park Road, Charlotte, NC 28210

Volunteers Needed! We’d love your help at registration, with water, or cheering on participants. Join our team and help make the morning a success!

Can’t Join in Person? You can still support Grandma’s House by donating or sharing the race with your friends and family.

Eco-Friendly Run: This will be a cupless race to reduce waste. Water, coffee, and snacks will be available at the start/finish area. Please bring a reusable cup or bottle, and carry your bottle if you’ll need water along the course.

Merchandise & Awards: Check out our T-shirts and bags, with proceeds supporting Grandma’s House. Every participant will receive a medal, and awards will be given to the top three finishers in each race.

The Route: Both the 1M (white track) and 5K (red track) start and finish near the last softball fields at Park Road Park. The course heads down to the Sugar Creek Greenway for a scenic run away from traffic. The route is mostly flat, with an uphill finish back toward the softball fields.

Come run, walk, volunteer, or cheer us on. Every registration and donation helps provide a meal and a place to sleep for someone who needs it.
