Experience the vibrant running community of Charlotte, North Carolina as you embark on an 18-week journey through full and half marathon training with RunNC powered by Charlotte Running Company. This comprehensive program offers not just detailed weekly coaching but also six group runs per week to keep your training exciting and social.
The season kicks off with a kickoff meeting on July 12 at CRC Promenade from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., setting the stage for an enriching experience through November 14, culminating in the main group runs for both full marathon and half marathon participants.
For those looking ahead, early registration opens on June 8 with a dedicated Chicago Marathon group that will begin its training journey earlier.
