“National Running Day, held annually on the first Wednesday in June, is a day when runners everywhere declare their passion for running. Wherever we are and whomever we’re with, we run—fast or slow, alone or with others, all over town or just around the block. It is a coast-to-coast celebration of a sport and activity that’s simple, inexpensive, and fun. It’s the perfect way for longtime runners to reaffirm their love of running and for beginners to kick off a lifetime and life-changing commitment.” –National Running Day

Sounds fun, right? Passion for running. Fast or slow. Alone or with others. No matter the distance. Running is amazing, and if you haven’t tried it yet, today is THE day.

What? You say you’re not a runner? Well, what better time to start! Check out our How To Start Running Now article for tips on how to start running now!

The Giveaway!

New Balance shoes are my love, and I have never been disappointed with the quality or performance. The development, design and technology that goes into

any pair of running shoes is mind-blowing, but should be appreciated by every single person who calls themselves a runner. Running shoes protect your feet, your legs, your whole body from the constant pounding; and everyone should have an awesome pair of kicks like the New Balance 890s – a neutral shoe, weighing only 9.7 ounces. That’s like an apple, 3.7 cookies, 19 sticks of gum!

Because it’s National Running Day, and because New Balance is all about Making Excellent Happen, we are giving away a pair of New Balance 890s AND a pair of awesome Go 2 Capri running tights – guaranteed to make your legs look sexy in all of your fitness pursuits. Heck, I pretty much wear mine 24/7.
