Become part of the network of running events held worldwide on this day. Runners can run in a local event or create one by themselves --- all for their favorite charity of choice. Often referred to as an "International Day of Charity," World Run Day has now spread to several countries in pilot programs - and also by individual "virtual" runners in hundreds of cities. The World Run Day T-Shirt is available free to all registered participants. Our 2003 design was created by this year's Peachtree Road Race  winning artist Joe Broun of Athens, GA.
