Join us for a meaningful 3.5-mile trail run at Walnut Creek Park in Indian Land, SC, hosted by Counseling Services of Lancaster. This event, held in honor of Overdose Awareness Month, takes place on August 30th at 8:00 AM. Run through the scenic Carolina Thread trail to support a vital cause, raising awareness and funds to combat overdose and promote community healing. All proceeds go to Corey's Love, supporting their mission to provide hope and resources for those affected by overdose. Lace up your shoes and make a difference!

Please join us for the Carolina Comeback 5K Run/Walk and Fun Run presented by the Stride Forward Foundation, a nonprofit organization founded by Charlotte area high school students. All profits from the event will benefit the Buncombe County Schools Foundation to assist with ongoing recovery efforts following the impact of Hurricane Helene. Your participation will directly support students, educators, and school communities as they work to rebuild.

The Midwood Mile is a long-term placemaking initiative to create both an amenity and an attraction for everyone to enjoy on The Plaza between Parkwood Avenue and Central Avenue. This street is both a gateway and main travel spine for our neighborhood, as well as a thruway for our Charlotte neighbors. Our vision is to create a safe, welcoming, vibrant, and people-friendly place that encourages activity, facilitates connections, and builds community. Imagine what beauty and interest might be created with a sustained effort to implement landscaping, art, and more along our neighborhood’s driveway.
