Whether you are a beginner (and here we explain how to start running by taking advantage of technology) or a seasoned runner, the Global Running Day is the day you can NOT NOT run… because the whole world will celebrate running on World Running Day, created six years ago as a natural outgrowth of National Running Day in effect since 2009 in the States.
And how could we at Runlovers escape a party? In fact, the spirit of Global Running Day is to celebrate running in all its meanings-road, trail, jogging, plogging-and encourage everyone to get moving: it doesn’t matter how fast you run or how far you run… the important thing is to have fun and inspire others! Besides, this year’s GRD is scheduled for next June 2, so no excuses!
As per 2020 this will also be a virtual edition and again entrusted to the NYRR which has promoted the free “Virtual NYYR Global Running Day 1M” event from June 1-6: run one mile (i.e., 1.609344 km) by registering your activity on Strava, an event partner, and sharing your run with the hashtags #NYRRVolvoVirtualRacing and #GlobalRunningDay.
If one mile is too little for you, you can always join an event already created by the organizers or create a team: just log on to the official Global Running Day website and check the list of events that are being added or create an event yourself in your city. And if you miss the excitement of the race you can always download and print your bib!
Appointment for June 2 then-we will be there!
