Each year on the first Wednesday in June, individuals around the world celebrate Global Running Day. The goal of Global Running Day is to recognize the positive impacts that running can have on the physical and mental health of an individual, encourage people to get out and active, and also unify those in a global effort to promote community and wellbeing.

“It’s not just for physical fitness, but for emotional and mental fitness, and really to be a part of something that is so much bigger than yourself.”
Here are a few of the benefits of running and our favorite local parks to go running.
Even further, you can participate in the Run 1 Tag 1 social media challenge. Run 1 mile for someone that inspires you (or complete an at-home exercise), and tag a friend to do the same.
And always remember, as you celebrate Global Running Day it’s important to stay safe and take precautions to protect both yourself and your community. Happy Running!
