Celebrate Global Running Day with us!

On June 7th, We Run Together.

Global Running Day is our holiday; a celebration of the activity we love and the sport that brings our community together. We're inviting all runners and walkers to join us on June 7th to mark the occasion, set a goal and cross the finish line.

This year, we partner with Michelob ULTRA to host The Big Run 5K Fun Run. The run will take place from the store, and we'll celebrate afterwards with a post-run party. The event is limited to 100 participants, so don't wait too long to sign up! 

All registered runners/walkers will get a t-shirt and medal. We're also excited to work with our local and national sponsors for this event to offer raffle prizes and some goodies at the post-race party!

NEW FOR THIS YEAR: We are offering a 5K Training Program presented by Brooks in order to train and prepare for The Big Run on June 7! See details below in The Big Run 5K Training Program section. 

THE RUNDOWN:

The Big Run 5K is a FUN RUN ONLY. That means the run will be UNTIMED and not an official chip-timed race. The run will be in-person only, so no virtual option is available. The event will be limited to 100 participants, so don't wait to sign up! All participants will receive a Big Run t-shirt and a medal. Registration is required for those wanting to participate and can be done so online. It's a great opportunity to meet other runners in the community and celebrate. Bring the whole family or your furry friend...either way we'll have fun together!

THE NITTY GRITTY:

• The Big Run is on WEDNESDAY, JUNE 7 

• The run will start and end at Fleet Feet West Lafayette

• Start time for the run will be 6:30 PM

• We will host a post-run after party in the parking lot behind the store until 8:00 PM along with local and national sponsors

• WEDNESDAY, June 7th: You can pick up your t-shirt and medal before the run at the store

  • If you can't pick up your swag before the run, you can get it afterwards!

PARKING WILL BE LIMITED IN THE UNIVERSITY SQUARE PLAZA IN WHICH OUR STORE IS LOCATED. Please plan accordingly for parking farther away from the store and walking over. 

BIG RUN ROUTE:

**PLEASE NOTE that the route is NOT CLOSED TO TRAFFIC. Please adhere to traffic signs and obey the rules of the road. Run/Walk against traffic on the road shoulder (or sidewalks) when possible so vehicles can see you.**

AFTER PARTY DETAILS:

Stick around after the run for a little post run FUN! There will be music, games with prizes, a photo prop area, and some refreshments to follow. This will take place behind the store in our parking lot. A huge thanks to our sponsors so far, Michelob ULTRA, Brooks Running, and Hammer Down Nutrition for helping us make this event happen!
