The University area is the second organized greenway run that CRC hosts. Like the popular Little Sugar Creek Greenway Run, this event is held once a month on Saturday mornings. Please check the home page, the calendar page, or the CRC social media pages (Instagram or Facebook), for the next upcoming dates and times for this event. *While we are not hosting a November Mallard Creek Greenway Run, check back soon for details when we return in December!

The parking lot offers direct access to the greenway and a portajohn if needed. Other shopping center parking located within .6 miles walking distance is also available if needed. For anyone who is new to the area, this gorgeous greenway system begins with Clark's Creek Greenway at a small neighborhood access point at the bottom of Fairlea Ln. It then transitions into the Mallard Creek Greenway, which ends at Kirk Farm Fields. Off of Mallard Creek Greenway is the option to add additional miles via a turn onto Toby Creek Greenway, which runs through UNC Charlotte's campus and across Hwy 49, ending at the corner of Rockland Dr and Autumnwood Ln. There's no set distance for this run since you can turnaround at any time. LSC GREENWAY RUN
Location : 2524 Tyvola 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. https://charlotterunningclub.org/Little-Sugar-Creek-Greenway-Run We'll gather at the parking lot situated off Tyvola Rd (address provided above) and commence the run shortly after 7:30 am. Please plan on arriving early to have time to park and gather before we start. There's plenty of additional parking available across Tyvola Road at the Queens University Sports Complex. Some runners will start their run a bit earlier and come back for the main run. *While we are not hosting a November Little Sugar Creek Greenway Run, please keep checking back for updates on this popular run.
