Wer hier gut laufen will, muss ein ständiges Auf und Ab rhythmisch wegstecken können.","The Novant Health Charlotte Marathon is a city marathon that never quite goes flat: from the start on South Tryon Street in Uptown it heads out through Charlotte's residential neighbourhoods and back to a finish at 4th and Mint Street. Running it well means absorbing a constant roll of short rises without losing rhythm.",{"de":187,"en":188},"Der Kurs ist eine große Schleife mit Start und Ziel in Uptown, organisiert von der Charlotte Sports Foundation und seit 2026 auf einer überarbeiteten Linie. Gleich nach dem Start wartet mit rund 36 Höhenmetern auf knapp einem halben Kilometer der steilste Stich des Tages, bei Kilometer 3 folgt ein zweiter. Danach bewegt sich die Strecke in einem schmalen Band zwischen etwa 200 und 240 Metern, aber kaum ein Kilometer ist eben: Ein Drittel geht bergauf, ein Drittel bergab.\n\nLandschaftlich ist das ein Lauf durch baumgesäumte Boulevards und alte Wohnstraßen. Die Route zeigt die Viertel der Stadt nacheinander, darunter Dilworth und Myers Park mit ihren historischen Häusern sowie Plaza-Midwood und das Künstlerviertel NoDa. Gelaufen wird ausschließlich auf Asphalt, im November meist bei kühlem Morgenwetter.\n\nDer höchste Abschnitt liegt zwischen Kilometer 27 und 33, danach fällt die Strecke zurück Richtung Innenstadt. Kurz vor dem Ziel hebt sich die Straße noch einmal leicht an, bevor der Zieleinlauf in Uptown neben dem Truist Field erreicht ist.","The course is one big loop from and back to Uptown, run by the Charlotte Sports Foundation and on a revised line for 2026. The steepest pitch of the day comes almost immediately, about 36 m of climbing in under half a kilometre, with a second one near km 3. After that the route stays in a narrow band between roughly 200 and 240 m, yet hardly a kilometre is level: a third of the course goes up and a third goes down.\n\nAs a setting it is a run through tree-lined boulevards and old residential streets. The route strings the city's neighbourhoods together, among them Dilworth and Myers Park with their historic homes, then Plaza-Midwood and the arts district of NoDa. It is asphalt throughout, usually on a cool November morning.\n\nThe highest stretch sits between km 27 and 33, after which the course drops back towards the centre. The road lifts gently once more shortly before the end, then the finish arrives in Uptown beside Truist Field.",{"de":190,"en":191},"Plane nach Anstrengung, nicht nach einer starren Kilometerzeit. Die Anstiege sind kurz, aber zahlreich; wer jeden davon im Zieltempo hochdrückt, bezahlt das ab Kilometer 30. Lass die Pace an den Rampen etwas fallen und hol sie bergab locker zurück.\n\nDie erste Rampe direkt nach dem Start ist die größte Falle: Adrenalin und Gedränge verleiten dazu, sie viel zu schnell zu laufen. Nimm sie bewusst ruhig, der Marathon wird dort nicht entschieden.\n\nEntschieden wird er im hoch gelegenen Abschnitt zwischen Kilometer 27 und 33, wo sich das Auf und Ab mit der Ermüdung summiert. Wer dort noch gleichmäßig laufen kann, profitiert vom Gefälle zurück in die Stadt.","Pace by effort rather than a fixed split. The climbs are short but many, and anyone who forces each one at goal pace pays for it after km 30. Let the pace drift a little on the rises and take it back easily on the descents.\n\nThe first ramp straight after the start is the biggest trap: adrenaline and crowding tempt you to run it far too fast. Take it deliberately easy, the race is not decided there.\n\nIt is decided on the high stretch between km 27 and 33, where the constant rolling adds up with fatigue. If you can still run evenly there, the drop back towards the city works for you.",{"de":193,"en":194},"Für die meisten Altersklassenläufer dauert der Charlotte Marathon drei bis fünfeinhalb Stunden. Die Belastung ist überwiegend aerob, wird aber durch viele kurze Anstiege immer wieder leicht angehoben, ohne dass es je einen langen Berg gibt.\n\nBaue deshalb deine langen Läufe auf welligen Straßen auf, nicht auf einer flachen Bahn oder einem Radweg. Ziel ist, Rampen von einigen hundert Metern mit gleichbleibender Anstrengung zu laufen und bergab entspannt Tempo mitzunehmen.\n\nSpezifisch hilft ein Tempodauerlauf auf hügeligem Terrain im zweiten Teil eines langen Laufs, weil der entscheidende Abschnitt nach Kilometer 27 liegt. Kräftigung für Oberschenkel und Waden macht die vielen kurzen Bergabpassagen erträglicher.\n\nDas Rennen findet Mitte November statt, der Start ist früh am Morgen. Rechne mit kühlen Temperaturen an der Startlinie und übe Verpflegung mit Gels, wie sie auf der Strecke ausgegeben werden.","For most age-group runners the Charlotte Marathon takes three to five and a half hours. The effort is mainly aerobic, but it is lifted again and again by many short climbs, without a single long hill.\n\nSo build your long runs on rolling roads rather than on a flat path or greenway. The aim is to run rises of a few hundred metres at constant effort and to take free speed on the way down without braking.\n\nSpecifically, a tempo block on hilly ground late in a long run is valuable, because the decisive stretch comes after km 27. Strength work for quads and calves makes the many short descents easier to absorb.\n\nThe race is held in mid-November with an early morning start.
