Communication Counts 5k

On Saturday, March 28, 2026, Charlotte Speech and Hearing Center will host its 7th annual Communication Counts 5k timed race, fun run (untimed), and kids dash at McAlpine Creek Park in Charlotte. We will also be bringing back our virtual race option. These events raise critical funds that provide access to superior speech-language and hearing services that empower and transform lives to anyone in need in our community.

Timed 5k participants will receive a timing bib for official race results, race t-shirt, and finisher medal. Fun Run participants will also complete the 5k course but will not be timed, helping CSHC reduce event costs. Fun Run participants will receive a t-shirt and finisher medal while supplies last. If you’d like an official race time, be sure to register for the 5k! Kids Dash participants and Virtual Run registrants will each receive a race t-shirt.
