Nashville's THE BIG RUN: The Ultimate Global Running Day Sweat Fest!

The Big Run is on Global Running Day every year - usually the first week of June. Local and nationwide sponsors put on races and runs all around the country and It's truly a time of celebration and community. Think Sweat Party. Our local Fleet Feet Nashville and Brooks Running sponsored our run, and this year Nashville WAS THE BIGGEST In the country! I can attest to it being the best as well, and the entry was FREE for everyone. With free beer tickets, free shaved ice, food trucks, entertainment, giveaways and more than anything, it was best damn running community around - it's hard to top this day.

I'd highly recommend you to go ahead and mark your calendars for next year's Global Running Day and commit to being at this party. This year Nashville had around 1000 entrants sign up and run a 5k around Geodis soccer stadium in hot, humid conditions, but it was all smiles afterwards.

Celebrating this community and all running is is something we need to do yearly, or all the time. I'm already counting the days until 2026 - it's on June 3rd so save the date!

If you haven't purchased one of my books "I Am Not a Runner... Or Am I?" yet, make sure you do - woohoo! Get one here!!
