Barings Fall 5K returns to Freedom Park, giving teammates a chance to run, walk, and give back to local nonprofit partners. The event supports wellbeing, connection, and Barings' corporate citizenship microgrant partners through a friendly fundraising challenge between Charlotte and London. Barings will match donations dollar-for-dollar, and the location that raises the most will receive an additional company match. Teammates are encouraged to register, participate, and donate by November 4.
