What’s cooler than this weather we’re having? Showing up this Thursday to run or walk with others! Break out those long sleeves and set your alarm for miles and connection, and if you can swing it, stay for a good hang over coffee after.

Safety reminder: Please wear reflective gear or lights if you have them so you can see and be seen for safety. We start early enough that it’s dark out for our entire run now.

When: 6am Thursday October 22nd
Where: Meet at 4701 Goose Creek Dr, Charlotte, NC 28269.
Parking: Some 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.

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!
