Hi everyone,
Global Running Day is just around the corner, and we want to take this opportunity to encourage you to participate in this global celebration of physical activity and health.
As you know, physical activity is essential for maintaining good physical and mental health. Global Running Day is a great opportunity to promote physical activity and encourage everyone to lace up their running shoes and hit the pavement together.
We invite you to participate in our Global Running Day initiatives, which include:
Race for [ORGANIZED CHARITY RUN]. We will be organizing group to raise money by running together on [DATE]. This is a great opportunity to get some exercise, enjoy the outdoors, and socialize with colleagues. Even better, you will make a big difference for people in need.
For those who can't join the group run, we encourage you to participate in a virtual run. You can track your run using a fitness app and share your progress with colleagues. If you’re unable to run, please consider sponsoring a teammate with a donation.
Additionally, we will be organizing running challenges to encourage friendly competition and motivate you to reach your running goals every month. We encourage you to participate in our initiatives and make a difference in your own way.
Let's come together to celebrate Global Running Day and promote a culture of health and wellness in the workplace. Thank you for your commitment to your health and wellbeing.
Thank you,

How to celebrate Global Running Day at work
Global Running Day, falling on the first Wednesday of June, is a worldwide celebration of health and fitness that invites everyone to embrace running as a form of exercise. It's an opportunity to appreciate the physical and mental health benefits that running offers and to inspire a global movement of active living.
In the corporate setting, Global Running Day is an excellent catalyst for promoting wellness and the many benefits of physical activity among employees. Regular running can lead to better cardiovascular health, stronger muscles, and enhanced fitness. Additionally, it's a stress reliever, can improve mental health, and is linked to higher productivity. Even non-runners can be encouraged to participate in wellness by incorporating more movement into their day, like walking meetings, to enjoy these health advantages.
To celebrate Global Running Day at work, consider these ideas:
- Organize a company-wide run or walk, with distances varying for all fitness levels.
- Set up 'active break' reminders for staff to stretch or walk during the day.
- Create a step or distance challenge, leveraging fitness trackers for a friendly competition.
- Arrange for team participation in charity runs, combining fitness with community giving.
- Facilitate discussions or workshops (via ERG's, Slack Channels, etc.) on the benefits of running for holistic health. These initiatives can boost morale, build teamwork, and reflect a company culture that prioritizes wellness.
