It's the most wonderful time of the year
The runners' hearts are all swelling
and everyone’s yelling, the day’s finally here!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year
It’s “workout Wednesday” when each week I share a new running workout or strength training for runners exercises. Today is Global Running Day, so as your running coach, your workout for today is to find a local running event and celebrate this holiday with friends.
Global Running Day in Fort Worth, TX
It seems every day there’s a new fake internet holiday to celebrate on social media. There was national wine day, international dog day, and go skateboarding day; but the most wonderful time of the year is Global Running Day! If you enthusiastically celebrated national donut day, you should feel obligated to participate in Global Running Day. Ha ha. kidding! Today, on June 5th runners from across the globe will get together to celebrate their love for running.
If you want to celebrate Global running day, it’s easy: lace up your shoes and go for a run. Hit the streets, the track, the trails, or the treadmill. If you’d rather celebrate with friends and running friends you haven’t met yet, I’ve rounded up the best local Global Running Day Events in Fort Worth, TX.
Don’t live in Fort Worth? Well, get on a flight! Just kidding. You can search the Global Running Day site for an event near you, or sign up for a virtual event.
