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.

Past Special Events: December and November


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!


The Charlotte Running Club is proud to have taken part in the Novant Health Charlotte Marathon via Preview Runs, Pre-Race Party, Shake out run, Expo, Cheer Station, Races, and Course plogging events throughout the month of November. We are grateful for the partnership and happy to support our hometown marathon race each year!

In the Works


Rumor has it that yet another Summit Coffee is about to open in Charlotte, and while it won't be a Charlotte Running Club led run, there will be a weekly group starting up! If you live in the Wilmore area, get excited!

If you know of other new clubs launching, please make sure to let us know and tag us in any social media stories. We love to see the community expanding, providing new options at different locations and times to make running more accessible.

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. We will accept feedback here until mid-December. Click below!
