Miles That Matter

Miles That Matter 5K is a community-focused race held at McAlpine Creek Park on Monroe Road in Charlotte, North Carolina. The event features a single distance—a 5K—that invites runners and walkers to participate on October 12, 2025. It centers on the Miles2Hearts mission: every registration helps deliver care kits to unhoused neighbors, with a goal of 100 kits this year.

The atmosphere is personal and compassionate, urging the community to care deeper and run with heart. A Runna partnership provides two free weeks of training to registrants. Learn more at miles2hearts.org.
