Charlotte Heart Walk + F3 CSAUP Challenge

Men,

Fireball and Sasquatch have somehow been allowed to serve as co-chairs for the Greater Charlotte Heart Walk on behalf of Encompass Health Rock Hill. Naturally, we couldn’t just show up and walk like normal people, so we’ve added a little F3 flavor.

The Mission

Date/Time: 9/26/26 @ 0730/0900 – 1030

Location: Romare Bearden Park (uptown Charlotte)

The Greater Charlotte Heart Walk is one of the community’s largest annual events, bringing together thousands of people to improve heart health, honor loved ones, and support healthier communities.

✅ Family friendly
✅ Kid friendly
✅ Pet friendly
✅ Great cause

The event includes:

  • 3-mile and 1-mile walk routes (beginning at 9:00 AM)
  • Festival area opens at 7:30 AM
  • Community vendors, entertainment, health resources, and more

The CSAUP

Rather than just a leisurely stroll with your family, earn it.

Teams of 2 or 4 will compete in a 3-1-3-1 relay. Simple as that. 

The Catch

After the relay:

Losing teams will meet in the Romare Bearden green space and collectively complete:

  • 100 Burpees (Dora style)
  • 100 Merkins (Dora style)
  • 100 Big Boys (Dora style)
  • 100 SSH (in cadence because suffering is better together.)

The Prize

The winning team will take home up to $200 worth of CEP compression socks. Because looking fast is almost as important as being fast.

Why We’re Doing It

It’s an opportunity to support a great cause, represent F3, get in some healthy competition, and spend the morning with fellow PAX and family (yes, bring your families and furry friends – Sasquatch does not count as a furry friend).

Come walk. Come compete. Come support heart health.

Sign up and donate the amount of your choosing via event link below or QR code, grab a teammate, and let’s make sure we’re well represented.

*To easily identify our CSAUP competitors, please Click “Join this Team”. Register as a new participant [First Name] = Your F3 Name, [Last Name] = The Fort or Rock Region. Follow registration prompts to finalize sign up!
