Global Running Day is a day that celebrates the sport of running for people all over the world. It started in June of 2016 and has been going strong ever since. We think that is something that the Charlotte community as a whole should celebrate!
The 2024 Global Running Day celebration in Charlotte includes the Novant Health Charlotte Marathon, Around the Crown 10K Together with Truist, the Charlotte Summer Track Series, Brooks Running, runCLTrun, and Legion SouthPark Run Club.
We’ll be celebrating runners like you, and lifting up non-profits doing big things for our running community, like: Girls On The Run, Let Me Run, Charlotte Track Club, Charlotte Running Club, and More Than Miles!
The party will take place at Myers Park High School’s track during the kickoff event for this year’s Charlotte Summer Track Series, and at Legion Brewing SouthPark. You’re welcome to join us at the track, or start your run at Legion Brewing’s SouthPark location to get a little 1.6 mile warmup in over to MPHS, to then join in the cheering or the running at the track!
