Run and Ride Events Return to Carowinds in 2015 – New Medals

Carowinds is hosting year two of the Run and Ride series featuring some awesome running events and lots of air time on coasters!  With a half-marathon, 10k, 5k, and 1-mile fun run to choose from, there is something for everyone to try!

Runners will also be able to ride the all new Fury 305! Fury 325 fully embodies this same aggressive power that, like a furious hornet, just won’t let up. With heights reaching 325 feet, a staggering length of 6,602 feet and breathtaking speeds of 95 miles per hour, this 2,700-ton “hornet’s nest of rebellion” carries the same agility, bravery and passionate spirit of its hometown. Read more about the Fury 325 here.
