Mallard Creek Greenway Run (April 04, 2026)

Sat, 04 Apr 2026 11:30:00 GMT

Join us as we enjoy some morning miles along the Mallard Creek Greenway system in the University area of Charlotte. If you're training for a Spring race, what better way to log your long runs than with good company?

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. For additional parking, there are shopping centers within a convenient 0.6-mile walking distance. You won't need to worry about how to stay hydrated, as we will have water stations both at the starting/finishing area and along the greenway.

To plan your run or walk, we have provided maps with turnaround points for distances of 5K, 6 miles, or 13.1 miles on our website. Simply follow the link below to explore these routes and prepare for your run:
