How to Celebrate Global Running Day

June 5th is Global Running Day, a global initiative to get active. Every day is a good reason to celebrate running, but the first Wednesday of June is set as a worldwide celebration of the joy running brings us.

Celebrate the joys of running and pledge to run as much or as little as you’d like.

You can run anywhere you are! Make the pledge to run at Global Running Day's website. If you'd like to join a team, you can select Rise Endurance. https://globalrunningday.org
