About this race

Last Year we added the 5K along with the 10K race and it was a big success so we will continue with the two races this year. If you are signing up for the Le Tour de Carrboro a three race series benefiting Carrboro Area Charities, you will need to choose to do either the 5K or the 10K as part of the series.  The Carrboro 10K is 6.2 miles, the Carrboro 5K is 3.1 miles.  Both races start at 8 a.m. at McDougle Middle School, wind through Carrboro neighborhoods, and finish on the McDougle track. NOTE: THE 5K RACE IS CAPPED AT 300 PARTICIPANTS SO REGISTER EARLY! We have the best deal in the Triangle with registration fees for either race at only $35!  So sign up now and help us to support our Community Partners.
