Richard Sheltra Memorial 10K, 5K & Fun Run

About the Event

The Richard Sheltra Memorial 10K, 5K & Fun Run returns to Pineville on October 3rd, 2026. The event is held at the Belle Johnston Community Center, located at 1000 Johnston Dr in Pineville, North Carolina.
Race morning finds participants gathering under a firm and slightly soft trail condition with moderate UV exposure. The atmosphere is one of community unity as families and friends come together to honor Richard Sheltra’s memory. His commitment and dedication are celebrated through this annual running event, which has been held for several years now.
The 10K, the main attraction, begins at 7:45 AM from the Belle Johnston Community Center. The course is a firm yet slightly soft surface that stretches out over ten kilometers, providing runners with a challenging but enjoyable run. The fun run, a one-mile event, starts just after the 10K finishers cross the line and runs off shortly thereafter at 8:15 AM.
For those who prefer shorter distances or simply want to enjoy the festivities, there is also a five-kilometer race starting right behind the 10K. The fun run covers about 1.6 kilometers, perfect for walkers and casual runners alike. All distances are carefully marked with signs along the way, ensuring clear navigation.
The weather on race day in October can be expected to feel mild under moderate UV index conditions. Expect temperatures around a comfortable range that morning, with some slight breeze but no risk of rain or severe humidity.
