Charlotte’s hometown restaurant, Showmars, will join forces with Greg Olsen and Receptions For Research: The Greg Olsen Foundation on Saturday, May 11th to host the HEARTest Yard + Showmars 5K. Thousands of runners, walkers, families and friends will take part to help raise money and awareness for children who receive vital care for Congenital Heart Diseases and Disorders from Levine Children’s world-class pediatric congenital heart program.
With pre-race activities taking place at CMC Myers Park, Greg Olsen and his family will lead a parade march to the HEARTest Yard + Showmars 5K start line on Cumberland Avenue upon completion of the pre-race program. The race will end on South Kings Drive at Levine Children’s Hospital, and a post-race celebration held in the parking lot will include a complimentary kid’s fun run, refreshments, activities and entertainment for the whole family. 100 percent of proceeds generated during the event will benefit Levine Children’s Hospital, the region’s most comprehensive children’s hospital.
