Cor3 After Dark
About this race
Miles for Tomorrow
5 Miles. 5 Supplies. One Community.
Hosted by The Foundry COR3, a Charlotte-based nonprofit organization, Miles for Tomorrow is a 5-mile community night run dedicated to supporting local students as they prepare for the new school year.
Instead of a traditional registration fee, participants are asked to donate five new school supply items from the approved supply list. Every donation directly supports students in our community, helping equip them for a successful school year.
This is a non-competitive, untimed community run designed to bring people together through fitness, service, and connection. A live DJ will lead the route, creating an energetic atmosphere from start to finish, and light refreshments will be available following the run.
Event Highlights
- 5-mile community night run
- Live DJ leading the route
- School supply drive benefiting local students
- Light refreshments after the run
- Connect with Charlotte’s running community
