As it is celebrated?
The Global Running Day celebration may vary depending on individual preferences and abilities, but generally includes the following activities:
- Running Individually: Many people choose to run alone in their favorite place, whether in parks, trails, running tracks, or even on treadmills at the gym. There are many challenges that we find on Strava in which we can join, complete them and earn a discount or promotion.
- Local Races and Events: In some cities, such as Valencia, small events or small training sessions are organized. These can include 5K, 10K, etc. races.
