WORLD RUN DAY ANNOUNCES EXPANDED VIRTUAL RUN EVENTS AND WEBSITE UPGRADES TO SUPPORT GLOBAL INITIATIVE

Long Beach, NY  – December 8, 2024 – World Run Day, the pioneering organization behind the first-ever virtual run in 1999, is thrilled to announce significant changes to its platform and programming. As part of our commitment to promoting health, wellness, and unity through running, we are expanding our virtual events and modernizing our website to enhance the participant experience.

Since its inception, World Run Day has been dedicated to empowering runners of all abilities to celebrate their passion for the sport while giving back to their communities. The creation of the world’s first virtual run in 1999 revolutionized the way runners engage with charitable causes, and we are proud to carry on this tradition with an even broader slate of events in 2024.

New Virtual Run Events to Fund the World Run Day Initiative
This year, participants can look forward to an exciting lineup of new virtual run events, designed to connect runners from across the globe. Each event will directly contribute to funding the World Run Day initiative, which seeks to inspire individuals to lead healthier lives while supporting charitable causes.

Website Enhancements for a Seamless Experience
To better serve our growing community, we are undergoing a comprehensive overhaul of our website. The upgraded platform will feature an intuitive design, enhanced event registration capabilities, and a centralized hub for participants to track their progress, connect with others, and access resources to prepare for their runs.

“We are excited to take World Run Day to new heights,” said Bill McDermott, Founder of World Run Day. “By expanding our virtual run offerings and modernizing our website, we’re making it easier than ever for runners worldwide to join us in celebrating the joy of running and the power of giving back.”

Join the Movement
Registration for the upcoming virtual run events are now open (World Run Day starting January 1, 2025). Participants can choose their preferred distance, run at their own pace, and share their achievements through our online platform. Whether you’re a seasoned marathoner or a beginner looking to make a difference, World Run Day invites you to be part of a movement that unites runners for a common cause.
