Boston Send Off & Spring Social


SUMMIT COFFEE OTP RUN

Whether you're a seasoned runner or just starting out, all levels are welcome to join us every Friday @ 6:15am for a refreshing 3 or 5 mile run at Summit Coffee OTP (On The Plaza).

Turn by Turn directions will be provided so you can follow a safe well lit route through the Villa Heights neighborhood.

As the days are now shorter, please consider carrying a light or wearing a headlamp. The streets are well lit but it's good practice to wear something to be seen by passing vehicles.

No major street crossings and no need to run on the sidewalks. We will also have routes available via RunGo so you can use the app on your phone or watch to guide you.

After the run, stick around for some delicious coffee at Summit Coffee OTP. This is a great opportunity to meet other runners and make new friends.

Run 5 times to earn a free Summit Coffee x CRC Klean Kanteen mug. You will be provided a punch card on your first visit.

Address: 2501 The Plaza, Charlotte, NC 28205

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.
