In addition to the weekly & monthly CRC events, Charlotte's thriving running scene has numerous weekly and monthly run club meetups. Check them out by visiting the Run Clubs section under Resources!

Summit Coffee Highland Creek One Year Anniversary

Time flies when you’re having fun! This time last year we were in full planning mode to kick off our new weekly run and Summit Coffee was itching to open their Highland Creek doors for the first time. JOIN US to celebrate our FIRST ANNIVERSARY of our Thursday run at Summit HC  . We’ll get our miles and then gather to enjoy some light breakfast refreshments. Summit Coffee will provide complimentary drip coffee and Run the Creek 5K will be giving away one free race entry to a lucky winner!

When: 6am Thursday, December 18th

Where: Meet at 4701 Goose Creek Dr, Charlotte, NC 28269

Parking: Ample street parking and there is a large lot by the Hawthorne’s and Harris Teeter only .25mi away. Do NOT park in reserved spaces for the residents in the immediate coffee shop lot.

Reflective clothing and lights are strongly recommended so you can see and be seen for the entirety of your run!

Every 5 runs earns you a free drink at the café. We have overlapping routes of different distances available, paper or digital directions, and we look out for each other on course!

This run welcomes all levels but is meant to cater to those starting out, less speedy, or those returning from injury or a break from running. Free and open to all runners, not just club members. No registration required, just show up!

Congrats to our Charlotte Runners & Pacers!

It was an honor and a pleasure to lead over 11,000 of our friends at the Charlotte Marathon on Saturday! Our pacers helped competitors hit goals, navigate the course, and have fun while traversing the Queen City.

Congratulations to everyone who competed in one of the three races on Saturday. Congratulations to the Charlotte Marathon team for coordinating such a successful event. And thank you to all of our pacers who made the day very special to so many runners.

Congrats Boston Marathon Runners!


Congratulations to all of our members who conquered the Boston Marathon on Monday! A week before the marathon, we partnered with Charlotte Running Company and the Barn Burners Run Club for our Spring Social and Boston Send-Off.

Once in Boston, our members had a great collective performance in ideal running conditions. Way to represent our city and club on the biggest stage!

  • Men's Open - 6th place
  • Women's Open - 11th place
  • Men's Masters - 13th place
  • Women's Masters - 10th place

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.
