    • Not Just Coffee - Atherton Mill 2000 South Blvd., Suite 130, Charlotte, NC, 28203


    Looking for a midweek morning run and a jolt of java with fellow runners after? Search no more!

    This run, led by Charlotte Running Club President Philip Sanford himself, is a weekly group run with routes of 2, 3, and 4 miles along the familiar routes originated and used by the popular evening run club Barn Burners Run Club (See our run club page for more info on their and other local clubs' schedules). Routes will be available in Strava (2 miles, 3 miles, 4 miles). Everyone is welcome to join, members and non-members alike. We love to see runners (walkers!) of all abilities come out, but we cannot guarantee partners for all paces at this time. Please bring a friend, stay for coffee after to make more friends, and start your hump day right!

    Run with the group and get a 10% discount on your beverage after!

    Location: Not Just Coffee - Atherton Mill 2000 South Blvd., Suite 130, Charlotte, NC, 28203 

    Time: Every Wednesday, 6:30 a.m.
