Happy #GlobalRunningDay! A day to celebrate the sport we love. And it’s been proven – running brings us not only physical health and mental clarity, but increased creativity, better memory, friendships and so much more. Celebrating in Global Running Day is easy – just pledge to take part in some type of running activity on June 1, 2016. It can be a solo lap around the block, a long run with friends, or even a game of tag with your kids.
And speaking of kids, the first-ever Million Kid Run on Global Running Day aims to get young people moving. The goal is to have a million kids around the world pledge to run on June 1, 2016. The Million Kid Run is about making fitness fun and inspiring kids to embrace running as a way to get healthy and fit. After you make your pledge, get your sons, daughters, nieces, nephews, and students to choose their running activities and be a part of something incredible.
