    We are back with the monthly Little Sugar Creek Greenway Run! Join us on Saturday at 7 a.m. in Park Road Park for a great community run. We will be heading south on the greenway and the distance is up to you. We will help you find runners of a similar pace to run with if you are on your own.

    Joining us this month will be the RunNC training group. They will have runners at all different paces training for marathons, half marathons, and ultras taking place in the fall.

    Whether you are starting your fall race training or looking to get in some safe miles with others, join us on Saturday.

    Date : Saturday, August 15

    Location : 6220 Park Road Park, Charlotte, NC 28210
    Start Time : 7:00 a.m.

    We have worked with Mecklenburg County Park & Rec for permission to use Park Road Park, ensuring that everyone can take advantage of the ample parking and restroom facilities.


    The LSC Greenway run is ideal for those looking to run 5, 10, or even 20 miles, as you can turn around at any point and head back. Water stations will be available along the greenway and at the start/finish area to help keep you hydrated. For more details about this monthly run, visit our website (see link in profile) where you'll find an event page with all the information you need.

    We’ll meet at the lower parking lot (address above) and begin the run shortly after 7:30 am. Please plan to arrive early to allow time for parking and to gather before we start.

    We welcome EVERYONE, regardless of experience or ability. Our runs and events are always FREE for anyone to participate in—no membership to the Charlotte Running Club required. While we'd love to accommodate all paces, we can't guarantee everyone will be matched up. Feel free to bring a friend to run with!
