In addition to the weekly & monthly CRC events, Charlotte's thriving running scene has numerous weekly and monthly run club meetups. Check them out by visiting the Run Clubs section under Resources!

Mallard Creek Greenway Run - Saturday, November 7


Come enjoy one of our local greenways by running or walking with the Charlotte Running Club.

When - Saturday, November 7 at 7:30 a.m.

Where - Mallard Creek Elementary School, 9801 Mallard Creek Rd, Charlotte, NC.

We’ll have a cooler of water set out along the greenway as well as at the start/finish, and if you are unfamiliar with the area, we’ll be happy to help you pinpoint the right spot to turn around along this out and back greenway.

These group runs are FREE and open to ALL runners (and walkers too), no need to be a member or to register, just show up! We encourage all levels of walkers and runners to attend. 

Charlotte Marathon Happenings


There is a lot going on with the Charlotte Marathon this year and we strongly encourage you to keep an eye on the marathon's Instagram page to stay current with the marathon.

  • Waka Flocka Flame live performance - The rapper will be running in 5k at the marathon and then performing live in the race village!
  • Volunteer - Support is needed at the expo on Nov. 13th and at the race on Nov. 14th. Sign up here to volunteer for the race.
  • Live Mural - This year, a mural will be painted live during the marathon. Our friend Tim at Mural Tours 704 is spearheading this effort. 
  • Course Updates - Several course updates have been made, with the two biggest being between miles 7 and 8 and at mile 24. Runners will now go up East Blvd. approaching mile 8 instead of the traditional Kings Dr. to Morehead St. route. At mile 24, a hill was cut out at the point when runners exit the greenway, providing a more direct route into Uptown to finish the race.
  • Pace Team - The Charlotte Running Club pacers are back and ready to help you reach your marathon or half marathon goal. Come see us at the expo and look for the proper pace and distance sign in your starting corral.

    Cheer Station for Charlotte Marathon - Saturday, November 14

    Join Charlotte Running Club at our cheer station as we support and encourage runners and walkers participating in the Charlotte Marathon!

    This year, the Charlotte Running Club cheer station will be near the intersection of N. Davidson and E. 28th Streets, conveniently located by the 16th and 22nd mile markers. We will have signs, noisemakers, and sidewalk chalk ready for your creativity in supporting all of the runners that morning! If you want to help with our cheer station, please send a note to run.charlotte@gmail.com and we will include you in our planning.

    Our mission: Building a Strong and Healthy Community Through Running

    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.
