Every weekend there are lots of great races taking place in the Charlotte area to raise awareness for various causes. The Charlotte Running Club wants to assist by putting the spotlight on upcoming charitable events to encourage folks to either participate or volunteer their time to help with the event.

September is National Recovery Month, and you can help three local charities by participating in the 2nd annual HOPE Runs for Recovery 5k at Clanton Park in Charlotte on September 25^th. They are also seeking volunteers as well if you would like to help provide support on race day.

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.

Yes! We are social and we are on Strava, search for "Charlotte Running Club" and join now.
