About This Club

NoDa Brewing Run Club is Charlotte's original brewery run club, built around weekly group runs out of NoDa Brewing's two taprooms. It's set up for people who want to run a manageable distance and then hang out with a beer after, not chase a personal best. With three distance options every week and no cost or membership to worry about, it's an easy one to just show up to.

Highlights

  • Original brewery run club
  • Color-coded arrow markers
  • Two locations
  • Marked routes
  • Strava/MapMyRun/RunGO apps
  • Post-run beer

Who It Suits

This suits beginners and social runners who want a short-to-moderate distance with a beer afterward, and the free, no-membership setup makes it easy to try without commitment. It's explicitly not aimed at advanced racers chasing pace goals, and since the terrain is road and urban rather than trail, trail runners won't find their thing here. It's also not set up for strollers or dogs, so plan around that if you'd normally bring either.

What a Run With Them Is Like

Routes are marked with color-coded arrows so you're not relying on someone leading the pack, and you pick your own distance: 1, 3, or 5 miles. The record lists all paces as welcome, so there's no single group speed to keep up with, and the terrain is road and urban, flat sidewalks and city streets rather than trail. Runs happen Wednesday evenings at North End Taproom and Sunday at noon at The OG Taproom.

Your First Run

Show up at North End Taproom on Wednesday at 6:30pm or The OG Taproom on Sunday at noon, no signup or membership needed since it's free to join. Before you head out, decide whether you're doing the 1, 3, or 5 mile route, since all three go out at once on marked paths.

Download Strava, MapMyRun, or RunGO beforehand if you want to follow along on your phone. Walkers are explicitly welcome and the club is described as beginner friendly, so showing up unsure of your pace isn't a problem here, and afterward everyone regroups for beer at the taproom, which is a natural way to end up talking to people even if you came alone.
