Run / Walk Events

The City of Morganton has approved four run/walk courses on City streets. There must be a minimum of 75 participants in order to block roadways for the event. The event will not be allowed the following year if the minimum participants is below 75. If more than 2,000 participants are expected for the event, the route will need to be re-evaluated by the City of Morganton and Morganton Public Safety. These courses do not require a permit from NCDOT.

If you do not use a pre-approved course for your run/walk, you must fill out a City of Morganton Special Event Application and an NCDOT Special Event Application, and submit both to Public Safety. If there are no conflicts with your event, Public Safety will issue the applicant an Acknowledgement Letter to be submitted along with the NCDOT application to NCDOT.
