2012 World Run Day Logo Theme: Currently in design
World Run Day Participants once again will celebrate the sport of running by promoting the health benefits of running to others and running “their own course”. They run either by themselves or with small groups. Not mandatory, however many participants pledge a monetary donation directly to their favorite charity. The 2012 Official Logo is currently in design. Scheduled to be completed by Jan 1, 2012. Once complete, all registrants will be mailed an event t-shirt with the 2012 logo imprinted. A customized E-BIB will also be created for each runner.
Created for runners who treasure their Running Bibs more than an Event T-Shirt.
We will customized an Electronic Bib complete with Name, City, State, and Country. Runners will get assigned a number based upon when they registered (earlier registration = lower number). Note: When you register for the event t-shirt you automatically get an E-BIB.

Virtual Running Events Held Year-Round (See right margin)
There are many creative opportunities to run for your favorite cause prior to World Run Day (November 11, 2012). People enjoy creating their own route, sharing their thoughts, and making a donation to their local charity. We recognize these participants by listing their names and their special messages on our site. These runners are automatically registered for World Run Day 2012 when they participate in one of our Virtual Runs held throughout 2011 - 2012. You run, you earn the shirt, you get on our map. It's that simple...
