Run for your favorite charity

Enjoy... give back... accomplish

One of the ways runners are making their event special is donating to their favorite charity.

We have a limited number of WORLD RUN DAY DISCOUNT CODES for Charities this year. Please contact your charity to see if their discount code has been “activated”. If not, we will attempt to contact them for our 2019 Event. In the meantime, please register for World Run Day 2018 and enjoy your run.

Your accomplishment will be documented on our site and our event shirt mailed to you. The earlier you register the early you will receive your event shirt.

About us

For nearly 20 years World Run Day had provided runners with the opportunity to express themselves through one of the healthiest activities on the planet today. We’ve created the World Run Day Event Shirt, the Website, Tools to be used by individuals, schools, and groups that want to share in the expression of running with others around the globe.

It’s taken about 15 years for the rest of the running world to understand what a “Virtual Run” is – and for those that have experienced it — we once again say “Thank You.” Have your name listed on the back of the event T-shirt and share the shirt worn world-wide by runners of different nationalities.
