WMM: Boston Marathon

Each year, we run our membership list in conjunction with the registrant list for the Boston Marathon, and upload the names of our members that are on both lists to our Charlotte Running Club Team. We host a Boston Marathon Send Off party each year at our Spring Social, congratulating runners and listing them on our club Boston banner. If your name is on the banner, you're on  our team, no additional steps required! At the party and on our social media accounts, we also announce a photo meet up time at the Boston Finish Line, see below for those that were able to attend and celebrate together! Our club team has consistently performed well in the Team standings, released by the B.A.A. shortly after the race and linked on this page. Only the top three fastest runners in a category per team are factored into the official team standings, so whether you run to be fast, to have fun, or just to finish, we are proud of you!

The 100 x 5k World Record

The 100 x 5k World Record attempt in May 2011 was a HUGE success. Not only did we crush the world record but we had an absolute blast doing it. Read all about it on our club Facebook site. We are now however former world record holders at the Greenville Track Club dropped the record by almost an hour on May 21st. Congrats to them. They pulled from the whole state so we can still stand proud as the Club only work record holders.
