The 2024 Eve Carson Memorial 5K for Education is an event to celebrate the outstanding leadership and support of community service Eve Carson exhibited during her time at UNC-Chapel Hill. This year, the 17th Annual Eve Carson Memorial 5K will be held on October 26th, 2024 with registration and check-in starting at 6:30 am and the race beginning at 7:30am! 

We have a great route starting and finishing at the Campus Y. We have reserved Morehead Planetarium Lot for free race parking (250 E Franklin St) from 6:00-10:00am on October 26th so feel free to park there and tell the lot attendant that you are there for the race. Packet pickup will occur Friday, October 25th on campus (details coming soon!), but if you are unable to pick up your packet in advance you can also pick it up before the race starts. We will have vendors and family-friendly activities for non-runners, as well as a few surprises to help celebrate this exciting event!

 We will have a Strava group that virtual runners can join to track their run or walk and compete with other participants through 5:00pm November 2nd.

The Eve Carson 5K has become one of the most widely supported philanthropy events in the Carolina community, and with your help, we hope to have another tremendously successful event! Proceeds from this year’s event will once again benefit the Eve Marie Carson Memorial Junior-Year Merit Scholarship and the Pi Beta Phi Literacy Fund.
