How to Participate:
Create: Create your course for the day. Whether it's a local training route or competitive course - make it "your run" for yourself, family, and friends. Runners worldwide will be doing the same.
Dedicate: Choose a cause, person, or favorite quote that you would like to dedicate your run to. Add this information during the registration process and we will post it on our site. You can also donate to any charity in the world - and we'll record your effort.
Run: Partake in one of the world's best activities for your health. Run at your own pace by yourself, with family, or with friends.
Belong: Partake in a running event on this day shared by thousands of runners across the world: World Run Day. Be part of The Power of Runners Worldwide.
World Run Day Participants once again will celebrate the sport of running by promoting the health benefits of running to others - while running “their own course”. Running either by themselves or with small groups, many participants will also pledge a monetary donation directly to their favorite charity. The 2012 Official Logo is complete. Voting ended April 2, 2012. All registrants will be mailed an event t-shirt with the 2012 logo imprinted. We anticipate Early May for our first mailing. A customized E-BIB will also be created for each runner prior to World Run Day.
The E-Bib was created for runners who treasure their Running Bibs more than an Event T-Shirt,
we will customize an Electronic Bib complete with Name, City, State, and Country. Runners will be assigned a bib number based upon their date of registration (earlier registration = lower number). Note: When you register for the event t-shirt you automatically get an E-BIB.
WORLD RUN DAY 2011 RAISED OVER $50,000!
