As a start check out the following link and see what clubs are near you. You could also check with some of the clubs a little further away (say Raleigh, Fayetteville, Wilmington, etc.) and see if they have any members near you. http://www.runningnetwork.com/clubs/northcarolina.html Other ideas: - check with the local YMCA to see if they have any members looking for running partners - see if you can put up a note at a local sporting goods store (Dick's, etc.) - ask the local fitness clubs if they have anyone that would like to run
