We want to help you feel at ease with a good idea of what to expect when you show up to our Summit Coffee Highland Creek Run. Every so often we do a little anonymous survey, and while it’s not always the same mix of people each week, this is a good snapshot of our Summer runners. If you’re not next to someone, there’s still a good chance that you’re in sight of someone if you’re anywhere close to these paces!

Join us this Thursday at 6am to run, walk, or run/ walk the distance of your choice. We’ve got routes for 2mi, 5k, 4 miles, and 5 miles. There are hills but we promise you will survive them! Please DM us any questions you may have, especially if you’d like us to arrange a volunteer flex runner to match your particular pace/ distance.

When: 6am Thursdays
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.

Please wear lights and/or reflective clothing if you can, we’re up before the sun these days and we want you to have no trouble to see and be seen on your run for safety.

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.

Come join us this Friday!

Rescheduled date is here...

Our Summer Social is here, with a twist… and maybe sprinkles on top. Join us Saturday, August 29, for an ice cream party at Freedom Park! Bring your friends and families for fun in the sun and some sweet cold treats. All are welcome and ice cream for our members and their kids will be paid for by the club. We will also have a special raffle just for members.

The ice cream truck from Jeanetta Yeller will be by the Princeton Ave. entrance at Freedom Park from 2 to 4 p.m. on Saturday afternoon.

See you there!
