Lace up your shoes for the Little Sugar Creek Greenway parkrun, a welcoming 5K event held on Saturday, February 21, 2026, in Charlotte, NC. This free, community-focused run offers a fantastic opportunity to enjoy a scenic out-and-back course along the paved Little Sugar Creek Greenway. Runners will experience a relatively flat path that winds through lush trees and greenery, crosses charming pedestrian bridges, and meanders alongside the creek itself, offering picturesque views reminiscent of the San Antonio River Walk.

The course is run entirely on permanent paths, though participants should be mindful that some sections might hold mud or puddles after rain. Starting and finishing near the Sharon Road West access point (2212 Sharon Rd W, Charlotte, NC 28210), the event typically benefits from highs around 58F and lows around 37F, with only a 13% chance of precipitation, making for pleasant running conditions. Parking is available, often filling quickly, and participants are encouraged to car-share or use public transport. Restrooms and a water fountain are conveniently located near the start/carpark area.

More than just a run, the Little Sugar Creek Greenway parkrun, launched in 2022, is a vibrant, volunteer-led gathering known for its friendly atmosphere. It fosters a strong sense of community, with many participants enjoying a post-run coffee at a local café to socialize and share their experiences. Remember to bring your scannable barcode to ensure your time is recorded, embracing the inclusive spirit that makes this event a weekly highlight for Charlotte runners.
