NextGen United's Summer Sun and Racing Fun 5K

Get ready to lace up and dash under the summer sky with NextGen United's Summer Sun and Racing Fun 5K! Rise and shine for an 8:00 AM start on race day, with registration opening an hour earlier to get you set up and sprinting without a hitch. If you're eager to beat the race-day rush, snatch your packet the day prior at Betty G Ross Park, your scenic starting point that leads you through the welcoming trails of Lincolnton, NC.

This isn't just a race; it's a wholehearted hustle for good. All proceeds will benefit the United Way of Lincoln County, directly supporting local emergency aid and programs. And after you blaze across the finish line, stand proud knowing you could be clutching a 1st place trophy or celebrating your age group triumph—all while cooling down with a splendid snow cone. Join us to fuel community spirit and kick off summer with a dash!
