About This Club
Flying Biscuit Run Club meets every Sunday morning at Flying Biscuit Cafe in Park Road Shopping Center, Charlotte. It's a free, no-membership social run built around two distance options and a breakfast afterward, aimed at beginners and people who like the social side of running as much as the run itself.
Highlights
- Tied to cafe
- Consistent Sunday slot
- Post-run breakfast discount
Who It Suits
This suits beginners and people who like a social run with a clear reward at the end, since the whole thing is built around cafe breakfast and a consistent weekly slot. It's not the group for advanced racers chasing pace work or anyone looking for trail miles, and it's not set up for walkers, strollers, or dogs based on the record.

What a Run With Them Is Like
You pick between a 3 mile or 6 mile route before you start, both on neighborhood roads. It's a road run, so no trail or off-camber terrain to worry about, and the whole thing is set up to end back at the cafe for breakfast.

Your First Run
Show up to Flying Biscuit Cafe in Park Road Shopping Center by 7:20 AM, ahead of the 7:30 start, so you have a few minutes to figure out which distance group you're joining. Pick the 3 mile or 6 mile option based on what you want that day, nobody's checking credentials.
Plan to stick around after for the discounted breakfast, that's a real part of the format, not an afterthought. This is billed as beginner-friendly, so showing up without a running resume is normal here.

Common Questions About Flying Biscuit Run Club
Do I need to sign up or pay before showing up?
No. It's free and there's no membership required, so you can just show up Sunday morning.
Can I walk part of it if I need to?
The record lists this club as not walker-friendly, so it's set up as a running group rather than a run-walk group.
Can I bring my dog or a stroller?
No, this one isn't set up as dog-friendly or stroller-friendly.
What happens after the run?
You stay for breakfast at Flying Biscuit Cafe, which is discounted for the group. It's built into the Sunday routine, not optional if you want the full experience.
How do I know which distance to pick?
You choose between 3 and 6 miles when you arrive, both on neighborhood roads, so pick based on how far you feel like going that day.
Where this comes from: Club details come from each club’s own channels (their site, Meetup, Strava and social posts) and are checked by hand. Group runs move, so confirm the meeting spot on the club’s latest post before you head out. Last updated April 2026.
