CHARLOTTE — Get ready for the ultimate run around Uptown Charlotte.
Around the Crown is happening this weekend; it’s a 10K race that gives runners a unique opportunity to circle the iconic Queen City skyline along Interstate 277.
The race starts at 7:30 a.m. Sunday, and traffic will be blocked on the Inner I-277 loop for several hours Sunday morning while runners complete the course.
This year, the race benefits two nonprofits headquartered in Charlotte: Sustain Charlotte and Carolina Fam Trust.
Channel 9 will broadcast a special event live from the race, and you can expect to see aerial views from Chopper 9 Skyzoom. That starts at 7 a.m. Sunday.
We’ll also have live camera feeds from spots around the race course on WSOCTV.com.
Channel 9 is a sponsorship partner of the Around the Crown race.
