More than 3,000 runners and walkers come out to run and cross the finish line each year at the summer running of Charlotte’s Truist (formerly BB&T) Corporate Cup Half Marathon, Relay & 5K Run/Walk races, which usually sees from 700 to 800 finishers in the half marathon alone.
Designed both as a benefit for the YMCA of Greater Charlotte and to encourage members of the city’s business community in their fitness goals, the race takes runners on an out-and-back loop course through the streets of the “Queen City,” as Charlotte is nicknamed.
