Carrboro 5K/10K

McDougle Middle School
900 Old Fayetteville Rd
Chapel Hill, NC US 27516

Online registration will close on Thursday, October 2, at midnight. 

In-person registration and bib pickup will be available at Fleet Feet in Carrboro on Friday, October 3, from 12-6:30 pm, and Race Day morning from 6:30-7:45 am.

IMPORTANT! In person registration on Friday or Race Day will be done electronically by scanning a QR code which will take you to the registration form that you will fill out on your phone. So, please bring your smart phone and credit card if you are registering in person. If you are already registered, you will just need your bib number to pick up your bib.

Race entries are not refundable and are not transferable, i.e., you cannot give your bib number to someone else. By doing so, the results (awards, age group, and overall) will be incorrect.

Both races begin in front of McDougle Middle School, wind through downtown Carrboro and its neighborhoods, and finish on the McDougle track.  Both courses are certified by USATF - see these links for details:

Please carpool and arrive early for parking. There are 3 lots in front of McDougle and a fourth lot behind the school (off of Hillsborough, and the lot to use if you are later than 7:50 am, since Old Fayetteville will be closed).

There is additional parking available at Hank Anderson Community Park, located off of Highway 54.

Awards for both races will be given to the top 3 male and female winners in the following categories: Open and Masters (40+), 9 & under, 10-14, 15-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-55, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70-74, 75-79, 80+.

As always, our unique pottery awards are crafted by local artist, Janet Resnik. Overall and top age group winners will also receive specially blended coffee from Carrboro Coffee Roasters.

Races for kids are  FREE for children aged 2-9 and will be held after the races at approximately 9:45 (after the awards ceremony). Races will be split by age groups as follows: 50 meter race for 2-3 year olds, 100 meter race for 4-5 year olds,  200 meter race for 6-10 year olds.
 

Baby strollers and joggers are permitted, but for the safety of all participants please start at the back behind the runners.

Pets are not permitted on the race course.

We encourage everyone to join us at our events. If you want to walk either course, that's great! However, if the trailing police car passes you, you must follow normal pedestrian rules -- move to the sidewalk or side of the road. Our timing service tries to capture the time for everyone who crosses the finish line, so even if the police close the course, you should receive a finish time.

Since the beginning of Le Tour in 2005, we have donated over $700,000 to our Community Partners!
