Charlotte's Dog Jog

presented by LendScout

Saturday, April 5, 2025

Join us for the fourth annual Dog Jog at McAlpine Creek Park!

Whether you have a furry friend or not, Charlotte’s Dog Jog offers something for everyone. Choose between a 5K run on one of the most famous cross country courses in the Southeastern United States or a one-mile walk/jog. Both events are suitable for all ages and fitness levels!
