The upcoming edition of the Charlotte Running Club's Little Sugar Creek Greenway Run is scheduled for Saturday, September 14th, starting at 7:00 am.

Location: 2524 Tyvola Road, Charlotte, NC 28210

For those who haven't participated in our monthly run on this stunning greenway, it stretches southward from Tyvola Road to the Polk Historic Site, covering nearly 7 miles. Furthermore, the recent extension to Pineville Lake Park and beyond is now open, offering additional mileage options. There's no predefined distance for this run, as you can turn around at any point along the route.

We'll gather at the parking lot situated off Tyvola Rd (address provided above) and commence the run shortly after 7:00 am. We recommend arriving early to secure a parking spot. There's ample additional parking available across Tyvola at the Queens University Sports Complex. Some participants may start their run a bit earlier, so don't hesitate to bring a headlamp if you want to get a head start.

Throughout the greenway, there will be water stations, and you can also find water at the starting and finishing points. At the 8-mile mark, Pineville Lake Park offers restrooms and water fountains.

While we would love to guarantee that all runners will find a pace group that suits them, please feel free to bring a running buddy along.

The Charlotte Running Club will continue to host a monthly gathering at the Tyvola Rd access point to the Little Sugar Creek greenway, and we extend a warm invitation to EVERYONE, regardless of your level of experience or ability. Our runs and events are and will always be free for anyone who wishes to participate. Membership in the Charlotte Running Club is not a prerequisite.

Please plan to arrive 5-10 minutes early, as announcements will precede the run  so we can launch as close to 7:00am as possible.

Special Guest: Ambassadors for the Novant Health Charlotte Marathon will be in attendance to answer questions, raffle off some swag, and give away a free race registration (good for the 5K, the Half Marathon, the Marathon, or the relays - you choose!) to one lucky winner. Don't worry if you don't win - all members can access our club race discount to use at any time.

The starting point for this run is at Mallard Creek Elementary School, located at 9801 Mallard Creek Rd, Charlotte, NC 28262. The school's parking lot offers direct access to the greenway and even has a porta-john available if needed.

Stay hydrated with our water stations both at the starting/finishing area and along the greenway by the crossway with David Taylor Drive.

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.
