This initiative aims to support the Carolina NeuroSurgery & Spine Education & Research Foundation, a 501(c)3 organization committed to advancing scientific research in the battle against brain tumors. Additionally, the foundation extends its philanthropic outreach to support patients of Carolina NeuroSurgery & Spine Associates and the broader community affected by brain tumors. Through this event, we invite our community to join hands with us, offering local engagement and sponsorship opportunities as we spearhead efforts to combat brain tumors. Carolina NeuroSurgery & Spine Associates, one of the nation's largest and most highly respected neurosurgical private practices, has been committed throughout its long history to advancing the science and delivery of advanced brain and spine care. Our team is constantly aware of the significant toll brain tumors often take on our patients and their families. We consider that reality as we care for pediatric and adult neurosurgical patients. Our patients' strength and resiliency inspire and fuel our determination to provide them with cutting-edge care and access to the latest techniques and treatments they deserve.

US Road Running Races US Road Running races are built for runners and walkers who like friendly, low-pressure race days with just enough competition to keep things exciting. Our events are local, welcoming, and easy to jump into, whether you are chasing a PR, collecting another themed medal, working toward series points, or just getting outside with good people. Most races are small enough to feel personal but organized enough to feel official. You can expect a clear course, helpful race staff, finisher medals, results, and a relaxed community feel. Bring your fast shoes, your steady walking pace, your favorite running buddy, or your best “I signed up for this on purpose” smile. We will be glad to see you at the start line. A quick race-day note: because many US Road Running events are small local races, we normally have one or two staff members at each race. EMS is not stationed on site, and water stations are limited to the finish area at the end of each lap and at the race finish. Please plan for the weather, bring anything you may want between laps, and check in with race staff if you need help. View Race Course, Results, and Race Information on the US Road Running race page.
