Global Running Day is Wednesday, June 2, 2021. Although many of our Kardia crew don’t need a special day as an excuse to go run, it’s still fun and exciting to see the sport of running in the spotlight.
The idea behind Global Running Day is for people around the world to celebrate the joys of running. It’s easy to participate — just pledge (on the Global Running Day website) to take part in some type of activity today, whether it’s running your favorite city route, playing tag with your kids during virtual school recess, or heading out on a walk to locate our Kardia hearts around the downtown core, the big idea is to simply move more today.
Here are 5 ways you can celebrate:
1. Head out on a walk, ride, or run to locate one or all of the 6 Kardia hearts located around the city.
- Puente De Luz bridge North ramp
- Garrison Commons
- Spring Road Hill in High Park
- Top of the Baldwin Steps
- Across the street from the Canada Running Series office
- NW Corner of Queen and University
2. Take your running to the next level with our upcoming virtual 5km, 10km, and half marathon training clinics, download one of our independent training plans, or level up with our in person Kardia Performance Race Team. Get all the details here.
3. Start a summer running bucket list of running goals and places you want to run this summer.
4. Make a plan for what to do with your old running shoes and gear. Donate or sell gently-used gear that you no longer use.
5. List to our Ultimate Cheer Station playlist that we created to the Canada Running Series PB + Jams Spotify account. Listen here.
