We are thrilled to introduce the inaugural Adventures & Wishes 5K & Family Fun Run at Carowinds. This event is an exciting partnership between two incredible Charlotte based nonprofit organizations – A Kid Again Central Carolinas and Make-A-Wish Central & Western NC.

This 5K race and family fun run will allow runners and walkers of all abilities to come together as we celebrate two great missions with a day of holiday fun. Both the 5K and Family Fun Run course will allow participants to experience unique and entertaining routes throughout the Carowinds property. Best of all, every registered 5K and Family Fun Run participant will receive one (1) free admission ticket to Winterfest on Saturday, December 3rd!

All proceeds from this event will be split 50/50 between the two organizations: A Kid Again Central Carolinas and Make-A-Wish Central & Western NC. This is the perfect opportunity to make a holiday gift and have it benefit two amazing organizations.

Join us on December 3rd as we celebrate the brave kids and families who are battling life-threatening/critical illnesses and raise funds for two impactful missions!
