New Location : 6220 Park Road, Charlotte, NC 28210

The LSC Greenway run is perfect if you want to run 5 miles, 10 miles, or even 20 miles since you can turnaround at any point and return. Plenty of water will be available at several spots on the greenway and at the start / finish as well so you can stay hydrated. More info about this monthly run is available on our website as we have an event page with everything you need to know.

We have worked with Mecklenburg County Parks & Rec for permission to use Park Road Park for the winter months, ensuring that everyone can take advantage of the ample parking and restroom facilities. 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 encourage EVERYONE to attend no matter your level of experience or ability. Our runs and events are (and always will be) free for anyone to attend. Membership to the Charlotte Running Club is NOT required. As much as we would like to, we cannot guarantee that all runners who come will match up on pace. Please feel free to bring a friend to run with!

The Charlotte Running Club consists of passionate runners that strive to spread the love of running and to help each other grow. The Club's goal is to bring the expansive, diverse, and exciting Charlotte running community together under one umbrella through motivation, group runs, and social events. 

Our club represents an incredibly diverse population, from lifelong competitive runners to couch-to-5k-ers and everyone in between. We all found running for different reasons and at different times in our lives, but we all now share a collective interest in making Charlotte a better place to run. Over the coming months and years, CRC is committed to helping to drive that transformation by connecting our members to:

• Running Opportunities. From fun runs to workouts to races, we help connect runners to events and activities for runners of all ages and abilities.
• Social Opportunities. You can't run all the time, so we provide fun and engaging opportunities for runners to socialize away from roads, tracks, and trails.
• Community Involvement. Whether we're volunteering at a local park, coaching and mentoring with community running organizations, or advocating for runner safety, we strive to help make Charlotte a better place to run.
