Jimmy Coleman
We talk a lot here on the program about giving your miles meaning – and we talk to a LOT of runners who do just that.
Jimmy Coleman is one of those runners. He tackled a 50-mile route that took him to five Catholic churches here in Charlotte for what he described as his “Adoration Ultra.”
He said in one interview that he’d been looking for a way to fuse his faith and his fitness journey… and if you ask us, he seems to have found a way.
Jimmy, welcome to the Running Around Charlotte Podcast! -
Phil Reed, Charlotte Runners United
One of the MANY things we love about running around Charlotte, is that you don’t have to look too far to find someone who’ll join you. There seems to be a run club or meet-up every day of the week, in most any part of town!
We’re happy to introduce you to a new-to-us running club called, Charlotte Runners United. Their first run together was just over a year ago, and they’re still at it!
Phill Reed is the name and face you’ll see often on the Club’s Instagram. And he’s our guest today on The Running Around Charlotte Podcast. -
Rebeca Ehrnrooth, CRC plogging event
One of the things we LOVE about running around Charlotte is how clean the city is. Bring someone in from out of town, and it’s generally one of the things they notice. That, and how many people seem to be running in this town…
But with more than 100 people moving here every day, that means a little more trash every day, too. And it starts to add up.
Runners being runners, you know we’re going to figure out a way to fix that – and get a couple of miles in along the way. Rebeca Ehrnrooth is our guest here on the Running Around Charlotte podcast to tell us about a little good clean fun planned for later this month! -
Jeffrey Hudnall, NHCM finisher; BQ, too
As we’ve said before on the program, for every runner joining us at the start of the Novant Health Charlotte Marathon… there’s a backstory they carry along with them.
Our guest today on The Running Around Charlotte Podcast is one of those runners -- and he has one of those stories. Jeffrey Hudnall told us he got into running because he wanted to be better tomorrow than he is today.
And once you hear the rest of his story, we think you’ll agree—he really is! -
Taylor Christie, NHCM ½ Marathon Finisher
As we have said many times on this program, for every one of the THOUSANDS who run with us at the Novant Health Charlotte Marathon… there are thousands of reasons “why.”
Taylor Christie is one of the runners who shared their “why” with us, and graciously agreed to share that story with us here on the Running Around Charlotte Podcast.
Taylor and Taylor, thanks for being on the program! -
Jay Holder, Running USA
Our next guest on the Running Around Charlotte Podcast is a name some OG Charlotte runners may remember. Quite honestly, we’re surprised we’re just now getting him on the program!
Jay Holder is the Executive Director of Running USA—a relatively new role for him. He’s the former VP of the Atlanta Track Club, a former professional journalist, and collegiate runner.
And, another item he can add to that LinedIn profile: guest on the Running Around Charlotte Podcast! Jay welcome to the show!
Customer Reviews
Great listen!
I’m not a runner, or from Charlotte, but a friend was recently on the pod (Yeah Lindsey McGee!) and so I pushed okay. Enjoyed the hosts banter, the insight into running in Charlotte, and hearing about the community vibes in the CLT running scene. Will have to come out next time I’m in town. Great episode!
Content for local runners
Great podcast to find out about people and programs that have an impact on the Charlotte running scene.

Would love more "running" focus and less Charlotte Marathon Sponsor focus
