World Run Day 

October 26, 2025 – Worldwide

For the 2025 World Run Day, we will be setting up 5K registration sites around the world.  Why the 5K? It is the most popular distance for runners for numerous reasons: 

  • Accessibility: The distance is short enough that beginners can train for it within a few weeks, but still challenging enough for experienced runners to push themselves.

  • Community Appeal: Many charity and fun runs are set at 5K, making it a common entry point for new runners.

  • Health & Fitness: It’s long enough to provide significant cardiovascular benefits but doesn’t require the heavy time commitment of marathon training.
