It was an honor and a pleasure to lead over 11,000 of our friends at the Charlotte Marathon on Saturday! Our pacers helped competitors hit goals, navigate the course, and have fun while traversing the Queen City.

Congratulations to everyone who competed in one of the three races on Saturday. Congratulations to the Charlotte Marathon team for coordinating such a successful event. And thank you to all of our pacers who made the day very special to so many runners.

Congratulations to all of our members who conquered the Boston Marathon on Monday! A week before the marathon, we partnered with Charlotte Running Company and the Barn Burners Run Club for our Spring Social and Boston Send-Off.

Once in Boston, our members had a great collective performance in ideal running conditions. Way to represent our city and club on the biggest stage!

• Men's Open - 6th place
• Women's Open - 11th place
• Men's Masters - 13th place
• Women's Masters - 10th place

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.
