Yeah!!! I'm so glad some people on this site are doing the World Run Day Race. I have a 7 year old son who thinks he is "training" with me for this race. He is so cute how he shows me how fast he can run. Of course he poops out quickly too so we are working on that part of his "training program"! lol I'm posting the poster where I work and might get some other runners to join us in the park that day so it should be fun. Let me know how your "Race" goes. Thanks.

Hi Robin! Yes I am doing this run. Signed up for it about 2 or 3 weeks ago, I used to run just for fun (never in a club or anything before) and am just getting back into running (3 months now) so I decided to run 5Ks to keep me motivated, I did my first one in August @ 29:51 and just completed another this past Sat oct 11 (check out heathershope.net) for a memorial run and did 26:43, its all in fun and good spirit. As they say in running "you are the only person you have to beat!"

Have fun and run for life!

Hi all, I signed up and have already received the t-shirt. I sounds like fun to think that you are running a race with some many people from around the world.

Hi there! I signed up for World Run Day yesterday!! I think it sounds like a cool event! It is simply a way to get people out and running, in any city, on any track, for any amount of time. What a neat idea!

Ooops, sorry didn't mean to be confusing. It's called World Run Day on Nov. 9th. The web site is www.runday.com. It is a virtual race anyone can register, donate to your choice of charity -any amount, choose your own route, time and distance. Even choose to run alone or with a group you put together.

You can see the original post by hitting the Browse Community button at top of this page, then choose running, then choose general discussion and you will find the post in all caps - - WORLD RUN DAY Where will you be?

I just thought it would be fun for any new runners especially those with kids - get them involved.

Hope this clarifies for anyone interested.

There is a race November 9th! My roommate and I are running in the Monson Memorial Classic in Monson, Massachusetts. There's a half-marathon, 5K and a two mile fun run for options of running that day; my roommate and I are doing the half-marathon. Just thought I'd let you guys know! Regardless if you can make it or not, hope you all can still run on World Best Sport Day...as in World Run Day.

Robin, are you talking about the Nike run? If so it was in August but I am pretty sure they will make it a monthly thing. I know they have something posted for a Nike half marathon...not sure if you can do it the same way with the Nike +. Try out nikerunning.com or go to the nike website and navigate from there

Nike did something similar to this and it was a lot of fun. There were areas worldwide where you could participate in a 10k and/or you could do a 10k wherever you wanted and upload it from your Nike + to their website. They had t-shirts, too. I'm going to check it out, thanks for the info.
