CRC Winter Classic 8K

Do you love to run, or are you looking to get more into the sport in 2014? Check out the Charlotte Running Club Winter Classic 8K taking place on Sunday, January 26th. There will be a kids fun run, an 8K race, and lots of fun and raffle prizes. Great way to enjoy the outdoors on a winter afternoon! From the folks at Charlotte Running Club:

"The 3rd Annual Winter Classic 8k on Sunday, January 26th, 2014 is presented by the Charlotte Running Club.  The course features a flat gravel path which is considered fast and is designed to showcase the trails that many local runners visit every day."
