World Run Day Results - 1999
In 1999 we had our first World Run Day. It allowed us to try a wonderful concept. One great day for runners, one great day for charity - all charities. With very little publicity in the fall of 1999, we had representation from 13 states and several foreign countries in World Run Day. A great event t-shirt was distributed (maybe worth something some day!) and the runners listed below shared something special. Some runners entered events around the world; some created their own. Be a part of something special this year.

Interesting Stories
Justin Guerriero, Shrewsbury New JerseyJustin has a great story to tell! Running for charity is not new for him. By selecting the 50 yard dash as his favorite distance on World Run Day 1999, Justin managed to obtain pledge donations amounting to $35.00 for the Lighthouse Foundation. Like the event says - "any distance, any amount". We applaud his efforts and those who supported him. But what makes this story the most noteworthy is that Justin was only 4 years old when he ran - our youngest on record! Thanks Justin!  Residents on the Island of Cape VerdeIn the true spirit of this event, a resident on the island of Cape Verde - as reported by www.runtheplanet.com - ran around the island posting home-made flyers announcing World Run Day 1999. In a nation where money is scarce, the sum total of $20USD was gladly appreciated by charity - and the publicity was much appreciated by the organizer of World Run Day. Our hats are off to Cape Verde who helped illustrate the true spirit of the event! Thanks Cape Verde! Bill Colletti, Sofia BulgariaOn Sunday, November 7, 1999 this event stretched all the way out to Bulgaria. Bill Colletti may have felt a little lonely out there, but he was our biggest donor. Bill donated $200USD to the Montana Bulgaria Orphanage. Run any distance you choose - in a race, on your own, donate whatever you wish to your favorite charity. A big Thank You to Bill Colletti! Runners on the boardwalk of Long Beach, NYImagine hearing about a run, World Run Day, only one week before it's about to occur. What is this? What's it all about? It wasn't one of the bigger events held on the day, but it was certainly a fun time for all, and the t-shirts were "real nice". People remarked later of the pride they felt in providing a donation. With the waves of the Atlantic Ocean as a backdrop, and one of (if not the) most beautiful boardwalks in the world to run on - people came, ran, and donated - to any charity on the face of the earth. A special thanks to the residents and the town officials of Long Beach, NY!  Click on the text above. These are just a few of the stories we can tell you about for World Run Day 1999. If you have a special story, you'd like to share with us write to pr@runday.com and we'd be glad to help you share it. If you plan on making headlines for our next event, through volunteer publicity or plan to raise a large amount, run a long distance, or have a human interest story that is worth sharing, please contact us at the e-mail address above.
