Global Running Day is celebrated every year on the first Wednesday of June to inspire people of all ages and abilities to get moving and embrace the joy of running. It’s a worldwide celebration that promotes health, fitness, and community through the simple act of putting one foot in front of the other.
The day encourages everyone—from seasoned marathoners to casual joggers and first-time runners—to participate in running events, set personal goals, or simply go for a run. Many communities, schools, and organizations host group runs, virtual races, and fun runs to mark the occasion.
One of the day’s highlights is the “Global Running Day Pledge,” where participants commit to run and share their motivation online, creating a global wave of inspiration.
At its core, Global Running Day is about more than just fitness—it’s about connection, personal achievement, and the universal power of running to bring people together.
