Run for Your Life moving closer to uptown

The Story

Popular Run for Your Life is relocating its Dilworth store to Kings Drive, across the street from the Little Sugar Creek Greenway, in midtown Charlotte.

The Facts

– New store will be in the Kings Court Shopping Center, home to the Melting Pot and Great Harvest Bread Company.

– Will open this spring

– Last year, Run for Your Life closed its SouthPark store at Fairview and Sharon with plans to consolidate the two stores into one big one. There are also stores in University and Piper Glen.

– New spot to capitalize on runners/walkers/bikers using greenway.

Runners are happy

Reaction on Run with Theoden Facebook page:

– Good move!

– I had heard they were looking for a new location since they were consolidating Southpark and Dilworth. It’s a great move for them.

– Cool!! Closer to me and right off the greenway!

C5’s Take

Brilliant location: Buy new shoes, run a mile or so on the greenway and then stuff yourself with fondue and sourdough bread.
