Join us for our Spring Quarterly Social to socialize and celebrate a send off of Charlotte area 2025 Boston Marathon participants. Have some cake (and eat it too!) with fellow runners - share stories, tips, and excitement about all the races and training miles that bring us together. 

Appetizers will be provided courtesy of our friends at Charlotte Running Co. and we will have a cake with the Boston Marathon logo on it. We will be taken an official send off photo with the banner with the names of the runners proudly representing Charlotte.

If you would like to run before the party, you are welcome to join the Barn Burners Run Club on their weekly run at 6:15 p.m.

All runners and their friends/family are welcome and we encourage you to join us to party and create the most energetic race send-off to date! Members will receive one free drink ticket upon check-in.

Curious about our club and Boston support? Visit our Teams page for past group photos in Beantown as well as club rankings! 

Note for Boston runners: don't forget to meet for the 2025 official Charlotte runner picture at the finish line. We meet on Sunday, April 20th at 2 p.m. in front of the finishing line. Join us!

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.

Head over to our Calendar of Events, our Run Club List, or our Volunteer page to find some ways to get moving within your community.

The Annual Holiday Lights run was a joint event hosted between the Charlotte Running Club and local business Charlotte Running Company. We saw some festive decorations, along the route AND on our runners, and enjoyed some social time inside the store afterwards. Thank you to everyone who came!
