No kidding, either. It's apparently the inaugural event, however. There's a National Running Day website here, where you can find events in your area, if you're interested.
Never ones to let an opportunity like this pass, corporations are entering with promotional events. For example, New Balance (the shoe maker, if you've never bought a New Balance shoe) is celebrating National Running Day in various ways. Dan Green, New Balance's integrated marketing associate of running, said in a statement:
"We are proud to celebrate National Running Day to showcase our brand’s long-time love of running. Through our interactive program and associate activities, we are excited to join thousands of runners across America in highlighting the healthy, positive benefits of running.”
New Balance said it will highlight National Running Day through content on its website www.newbalance.com and on a Facebook fan page. Realistically, though, you shouldn't be reading any of this. Get out there and run, jog, or walk.
