Survey Time!
The Board of Directors had their annual strategy session Sunday, October 20th. We appreciated the insight early responses gave us, and are keeping our survey open a while longer so that the community can further help shape our coming year! While we do weigh member feedback more while making decisions, not-yet-members are also welcome to participate and share thoughts too. Click below!

We appreciate everyone that came out to get some miles with us, training for races or just out for fresh air. Shout out to @blackmenrun_clt, @cabarruscanrun, and the Run Far group from @rfylcharlotte for making it a point to come today. As temperatures cool, please remember to hydrate (we know it’s easy to forget) and warmup before you start your runs! UPDATE: There will not be an organized CRC November Mallard Creek Greenway run after all - we were also looking forward to it, and do apologize for having to cancel. Please stay tuned for other fun ways we can come together in the month of November! 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. 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!
