For some people, myself included, running is all about the shirt. When I run an event and the shirt I get with my entry doesn’t fit, or is of poor quality, or I don’t like the design, I’m disappointed. I have run crazy events in the past for the sole reason “it’s a technical tee!” (Technical = sweat wicking, not cotton)
My recent marathon shirt is a great one. I’m very excited to wear it, and try to do so as often as possible.
BUT NOW WE ALL HAVE THE CHANCE to earn a shirt for ourselves!!
Sunday is World Run Day. I like World Run Day because it’s a worldwide event that anyone can participate in. Anyone willing to run a block, I mean.
What is World Run Day?
For the past decade, World Run Day is a running event held annually in November to celebrate running and charitable giving. It is recognized as both the International Day of Running and the International Day of Charity. Your support will help it grow into the largest running event on earth.
Why did World Run Day decide to organize this event?
World Run Day is a celebration of running. Runners can participate anywhere: a road, a treadmill, in a park, on a beach… anywhere they can run! Group events form randomly and are organized by passionate runners in cities both large and small. Our goal is to connect with other runners worldwide and make charitable donations to local causes.
What is the main goal of the event?
The main goal for the event is to celebrate running and also highlight the health benefits of running to the local media. In a time where obesity and other health concerns plague areas throughout the world, running is one of the best remedies towards a healthy lifestyle.
So maybe this weekend you’ll be inspired to set out for a little jaunt with friends or family. It’s your call when, where, and how much you do. Celebrate your health and your ability to move your body and celebrate your achievements in your life on a day everyone is celebrating worldwide and running by your side.
Go for it!
