Global Running Day is celebrated on the first Wednesday of June each year

Global Running Day is celebrated worldwide on the first Wednesday of June each year. This day was created to encourage a healthier and more active lifestyle through running. In 2024, Global Running Day will be on June 5th. 

On this day, people of all ages and abilities pledge to participate in some form of running activity. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced runner, anyone can join, and the distance or speed doesn't matter. The important thing is to start running and stay active. 

Global Running Day began in the United States in 2009 as 'National Running Day' and was renamed 'Global Running Day' in 2016 to be celebrated internationally. The inaugural event saw over 2.5 million people from 177 countries pledging to run more than 9.2 million miles. 

Let's celebrate Global Running Day by running in any form and style that suits you!
