On this episode, we’ve got some big news that’s going to not only impact runners… but RUNNING around Charlotte itself....

  2. Running Around CLT – Matt Nolan

    We’ve said this a thousand times on this program: every runner out there has a story; their “why” that gets them out there logging those miles, pushing the pace, hitting the starting line. In that respect, this week’s guest isn’t much different from the rest of us. Fact is, Matt Nolan isn’t the...
