Already looking for ideas in planning your weekend? Let us help!

FRIDAY July 19: We have two great options, pick which one is most convenient for you!

SATURDAY July 20: We got you covered in the morning AND in the afternoon! Join us for a supported group run along the Little Sugar Creek greenway and then hang around immediately after to learn about both the RunNC and RunFar training groups gearing up for Fall Marathons, one of which is the Novant Health Charlotte Marathon. Race ambassadors will be around to answer questions and surprises some runners with a few goodies as well. 

Later in the day we'll be meeting up for our quarterly social event, the CRC Summer Social! Around the Crown 10K is sponsoring this casual afternoon with Viva Chicken, and for our members, first drink is on Charlotte Running Club. We encourage you to meet our new board members, interact with other runners in the Charlotte community, and browse some of our club gear we'll have for sale. 

If you haven't already, click on the images above for more details. And while you're at it, take a look at our Run Club List page for ideas on what to do this Sunday too.

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.
