Event Details

This month, we’re shaking things up with a Community Run: South End Shuffle Preview.

Join us as we move through the same route featured in the annual South End Shuffle 5K, giving you a sneak peek of what’s to come on September 12th. We’ll start and finish at Patagonia Charlotte, heading out together for a no-drop run where all paces are welcome. Whether you’re getting in a few easy miles, scouting the course, or just here for the community, everyone’s invited.

Stick around after the run for free snacks and beverages, plus a chance to connect with local partners and neighbors. We’ll have Shake Shack onsite, info from Purple Promise—the main beneficiary of the South End Shuffle—and friends from other local organizations joining us.

Come run, explore, and be part of the community that makes South End such a special place.
