We talked to Trina Singian, Senior Director of Media and Public Relations at New York Road Runners, sponsored by New Balance, to learn how it began and what it’s all about.

“Global Running Day is a worldwide celebration of running that encourages everyone of all ages and abilities to get moving,” Singian says. “Global Running Day is the evolution of National Running Day in the U.S., which started in 2009 by leading running organizations.”

Then, in 2016, led by the New York Road Runners and with the support of running organizations and races around the world, it evolved into the global holiday we now celebrate on the first Wednesday of every June.
