Novant Health Charlotte Marathon organizers, fundraisers, runners and friends celebrated another major milestone for the event: a $138,641 check presented to Novant Health Hemby Children’s Hospital. The donation represents dollars raised from the 2025 Novant Health Charlotte Marathon. This year’s check brings the event’s cumulative support for Novant Health Hemby Children’s Hospital to well over $750,000 since the partnership began.
Through Team Hemby, individual donations, corporate partners, and other fundraising efforts tied to race weekend, runners and supporters helped turn their miles into tangible support. Funds from the marathon benefit a variety of programs and services at Novant Health Hemby Children’s Hospital, from advanced technology to family-centered support.
“While the Novant Health Charlotte Marathon is a powerful experience for the runners who take on the challenge, its greatest impact is felt far beyond the finish line,” said Dr. Catherine Ohmstede, physician leader for the Novant Health Children’s Institute in the Greater Charlotte region. “For the children and families who rely on Novant Health Hemby Children’s Hospital, this event represents hope and healing. Support from the runners directly strengthens our ability to deliver remarkable care to every child and family who walks through our doors.”
The 21st running of the Novant Health Charlotte Marathon drew a record-setting 11,500 athletes to the marathon, half marathon, and Chick-fil-A 5K events. For the second consecutive year, all events reached capacity. Runners from all 50 states and 19 countries participated, highlighting the growing appeal of Charlotte’s premiere road running weekend.
