Inaugural Sharksbite Thursday 4.44 Miler = Big Success

Inaugural Sharksbite Thursday 4.44 Miler = Big Success
Tim Long

The long running Sharksbite Thursday night run began a new chapter in its long and happy life last night. The run is designed to bring all abilities of runners and walkers together in a format that promotes competition, support, coaching, and if a little beer finds its way in, well, then so be it.

From the website:

Thursday: New 4.44 Mile Thursday Night FREE Timed Run presented by Charlotte Running Company New course HERE Timed fun run every Thursday night. Receive points just for participating, get more points for performance, get even more points for "special events" like team relay events, urban assault runs into downtown and back, themed runs, and the Mako Mile Run on a local track. Bring a change of clothes and a few bucks for beer and food and, of course, socializing after the run. Sharksbite is the first and only club to offer this Boston-style timed weekly fun run in Charlotte. We've had weekly crowds averaging 50 people before with one of our runs topping 100 people (St. Pats Day). There's a water stop at the halfway point, which happens to be Charlotte running and real estate icon, Brenny Thompson's house. Weekly results HERE
