This year’s Global Running Day celebration will look a little different. Races have been cancelled, plans derailed, and we are all adjusting to new normals. Yes, race day will look different. But our mission remains the same: inspire the runner in everyone. With that in mind, and in partnership with Brooks Running, we've made a few changes to The Big Run that we have known and loved for the past three years.
Introducing My Big Run
My Big Run is personal. We understand each of you have unique goals, and we want to celebrate with you when you achieve them.
My Big Run is an inclusive celebration of getting out there and crossing your own finish line, despite the challenges we are all currently facing. We’ll provide the support, encouragement, and know-how to keep you motivated along the way. You’re about to gain a ton of new running buddies.
How are we going to make this happen?
On June 3, we’re going virtual! Additionally, you have the option to choose from five race distances this year. Distances include: 1 mile, 5K, 10K, half marathon, full marathon. After you submit your results, we will upload to our national results page. We will provide directions on how to submit results.
Registration is $10. What does that get you?
- A $15 voucher: Redeemable at your locally owned and operated Fleet Feet, or on fleetfeet.com if you do not have a local Fleet Feet. *Exclusions may apply. Check with your local store before redeeming for details.
- Virtual race-day kit: Includes your virtual medal image to post on social media, plus print-at-home bib and photo props. We want to see your accomplishment when you finish your run so we can celebrate with you!
- Training and tips: Weekly invitations to our training content and tips, and access to our Fleet Feet coaches for any questions you may have. We know some of you are new to running and walking, and we’re here to help.
- The chance to win some very cool prizes. More details coming soon!
BONUS: For an additional $15, you can purchase a limited edition My Big Run branded face cover! Please note these face covers will ship to you after Global Running Day.
If you have already registered for The Big Run, check your inbox for next steps and transfer options. We appreciate your patience and hope you can still join our celebration on June 3.
