Stay fit on the Rail Trail throughout the week with various South End run clubs. There’s a running group for you no matter where you are on the continuum.
Many of these run clubs and breweries helped organize and participated in last Saturday’s Together We Stand’s Second Annual Maud 2.23 event to honor the memory of Amaud Arbery. Arbery was murdered on 2/23. This was a national initiative to honor his memory. He was murdered while running in his Brunswick, Georgia, neighborhood.

I Am QUEEN CHARLOTTE is a citywide, multi-platform experience that centers and celebrates the lives, stories, and contributions of Black Women in Charlotte.
The program is built around a gathered history of narratives from women in our community, by poet and master storyteller Hannah Hasan. These stories are the foundation of a whole week of activities honoring Black Women, which kicks off March 6th with a storytelling extravaganza in the Belk Theater.
Music will be provided by the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra, and the show will be directed by Broadway veteran Benjamin Endsley Klein.
The week following will be filled with art, curriculum, and engagement opportunities with partners: The Blumenthal, The Levine Museum of the New South, the Arts & Science Council, & more.
The week closes on March 12th with the Queens of the City musical performance in the Knight Theater.
