Each quarter our club hosts a social gathering for members and non-members to interact outside of active running, giving a chance to connect to the community regardless of differences in abilities and goals. Our next social will be Sunday, October 6th at Lost Worlds Brewing from 1pm-4pm. Here we will celebrate our running community, our members, as well as all of our Chicago Marathon runners before they head out to conquer their 26.2!

The next edition of the Charlotte Running Club Monthly Little Sugar Creek Greenway Run is less than two weeks away taking place on Saturday October 5th @ 7:30am (start time adjusted due to later sunrise)

Location : 2524 Tyvola Road, Charlotte, NC 28210

Dr. Greg Kucharski, PT, DPT, SCS with QCPT Physical Therapy will be returning to provide assessments for any issues you might be having with running.

Learn more about the services offered at QCPT on their website -http://www.qcptclt.com/

The RunNC training group powered by the Charlotte Running Company will be joining to use the greenway for their long run as most everyone will be getting miles in for the Charlotte Marathon and other fall events. You can learn more about RunNC on their Facebook page.

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.

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!

If you haven't attended one of our monthly greenway runs yet, make sure you come out next month. For many this was peak week in their Chicago Marathon training cycle, for others it was a final disciplined run in their Berlin cycle. For most though, it was just another long run with friends and strangers, a way to pass the miles in safety in a familiar/new place. Some even won prizes from our special guest @charlottemarathon! Whether you run or walk, go long or short, we're here to help you do it. 

We put out the water, you put in the work. 

Join us next month on October 12th at 7:30am (note the SHIFT IN TIME due to daylight!). We start at Mallard Creek Elementary and go directly onto the greenway, out and back. As always, our events are free and open to the public. For more information our website (link in bio) or click here:  https://charlotterunningclub.org/Mallard-Creek-Greenway-Run.

The Charlotte Running Club is thankful for the support from our newest members who joined in July and August. Our Board of Directors is comprised of volunteers who work together to coordinate events and runs to connect and strengthen the community.

We are thankful to have hosted so many weekly Track Tuesdays at Quail Hollow Middle School, but like all good things, our regular track workouts have come to an end. While there will continue to be runners who may choose to show up for an early workout, we no longer guarantee light or company on a weekly basis. Please visit our All Things Track page and connect with other runners around town to plan your oval miles. Stay safe friends.

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.

Visit our Volunteer Page to learn how you can help the community today!

We are actively looking for members and non-members who are interested in hosting a cheer station along the Charlotte Marathon course on November 16th. Please email run.charlotte@gmail.com if interested.
