So how about as a new year's resolution, every club member attempts to attend at a minimum 1 group run a week? Stay plugged in and motivated thru the bad weather of winter by participating in a group run.
The club activity I am most proud of is the strength of our group runs. As a running club, at the core of what we do is run. Therefore, no better way to demonstrate that than to have lots of group run options throughout the city. We have had a number of new runs come online with the start of 2011 and several others than have grown in size and pace. I often hear a new member mention that they were shy about trying to come out to a group run because they were concerned about the pace. Please reach out to the contacts at each of these runs to learn more and/or show up to a group run and start your own revolution by leading. It only takes 2 runners to call it a group :) If we are not providing you with good options, let us know so we can work to help establish a run in a location/date/time that works for you.

Charlotte Area Group Run Listing
Members and non-Members are welcome to join us at any location. On weekends we attempt to rotate throughout the various parks in the Charlotte area. Look for Mr. Hydro on the weekends. We have moved to listing CRC and non-CRC events as we just want you to find a group and be happy on a run.
