How to Participate:

Create: Create your course for the day. Whether it's a local training route or competitive course - make it "your run" for yourself, family, and friends. Runners worldwide will be doing the same.

Dedicate: Choose a cause, person, or favorite quote that you would like to dedicate your run to. Add this information during the registration process and we will post it on our site. You can also donate to any charity in the world - and we'll record your effort.

Run: Partake in one of the world's best activities for your health. Run at your own pace by yourself, with family, or with friends.

Belong: Partake in a running event on this day shared by thousands of runners across the world: World Run Day. Be part of The Power of Runners Worldwide.

World Run Day Participants celebrated the sport of running by promoting the health benefits of running to others - while running “their own course”. Running either by themselves or with small groups, many participants also pledged a monetary donation directly to their favorite charity. All registrants were mailed the 2012 event t-shirt. A customized E-BIB was also created for each runner.

Many Registered just for the "E-BIB"

The E-Bib was created for runners who treasure their Running Bibs more than an Event T-Shirt, we customize an Electronic Bib complete with Name, City, State, and Country. Runners were then assigned a bib number based upon their date of registration (earlier registration = lower number). Note: When you register for the event t-shirt you automatically get an E-BIB.

WORLD RUN DAY 2011 RAISED OVER $50,000!

Once registered, runners are placed on our Participant Map - reserving your place in the world for running. By clicking an icon near your city, your Name and City will be displayed.

Virtual Running Events Held Year-Round (See right margin)

There were many creative opportunities to run for your favorite cause prior to World Run Day (November 11, 2012). People enjoyed creating their own route, sharing their thoughts, and making a donation to their local charity. We recognize these participants by listing their names and their special messages on our site. These runners were automatically registered for World Run Day 2012 when they participated in one of our Virtual Runs held throughout 2011 - 2012. You run, you earn the shirt, you get on our map. It's that simple...
