Charlotte Marathon 2026

A rolling-to-hilly road course through Charlotte, North Carolina, largely an out-and-back layout starting and finishing in Uptown Charlotte near Truist Park, with the start on South Tryon Street. The route winds through Uptown and neighborhoods including Myers Park, Dilworth, NoDa, Plaza Midwood and South End along Tryon, Fourth, Morehead, College and Mint Streets. Elevation profiles show roughly 1,200-1,250 feet of total ascent; there are few truly flat stretches, so pacing strategy matters.
