About the Event

The 2026 Eve Carson Memorial 5K for Education is an event to celebrate the outstanding leadership and support of community service Eve Carson exhibited during her time at UNC-Chapel Hill. This year, the 18th Annual Eve Carson Memorial 5K will be held on February 15, 2026 with registration and check-in starting at 6:00 am and the race beginning at 7:30 am!

We have a great route starting and finishing at Bynum Hall/Circle. Packet pickup will occur Friday, February 13 on campus (details coming soon!), but if you are unable to pick up your packet in advance, you can also pick it up before the race starts on February 15. Pre-race festivities start at 7:15 am and include a performance by the Clef Hangers, as well as a few surprises to help celebrate this exciting event! Additionally, we will have many vendors and family-friendly activities!

Virtual participants can join the Strava group to track their run or walk and compete with other participants through 11:59 pm February 20th.

The Eve Carson 5K has become one of the most widely supported philanthropy events in the Carolina community, and with your help, we hope to have another tremendously successful event! Proceeds from this year’s event will once again benefit the Eve Marie Carson Memorial Junior-Year Merit Scholarship and the Pi Beta Phi Literacy Fund.

Thank you to our wonderful sponsors: Mill House, Red Bull, Celsius, Fazit

About Chapel Hill

Scenic and regularly decked out in "Carolina blue", Chapel Hill is a lovely college town in North Carolina that makes up the westernmost point of the Research Triangle. The town is the smallest of the Triangle's three cities, with an influence and pull that belies its size. Based around the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the town caters heavily to the local student population, with plenty of bars and restaurants near the university's beautiful campus. Immediately to the west of Chapel Hill is the adjacent town of Carrboro, an old mill town now known for its local shops, restaurants and nightlife.
