Global Running Day 2026 - The Party Continues
Global Running Day 2026 - The Party Continues
Global Running Day is already a good excuse to get out the door. At Athletic Annex Nora, we turn it into a full-on block party.
Join us on Wednesday, June 3, 2026 at Athletic Annex Nora Plaza for a free community celebration built around movement, music, food, and a whole lot of run-shop energy. The evening kicks off at 5:30 PM with a short, social 30-minute run or walk, then rolls straight into live music from My Yellow Rickshaw at 6:00 PM.
This is a true parking lot party - stage, live band, food trucks, community, and plenty of room for runners, walkers, families, kids, and friends to be part of it. Come to move a little, hang out a lot, and celebrate Global Running Day with one of the biggest running-community nights of the year.

What to Expect
This night is built as a community party first. The run or walk is there to get things moving, but the bigger point is to celebrate running with the city around us. Show up ready for an easy 30 minutes, then settle in for live music, food trucks, and a fun, high-energy evening in the Nora parking lot.
You do not need to be fast. You do not need to be training for anything big. You do not even need to run if that is not your thing that night. Walk it, jog it, skip straight to the party - whatever gets you there. The goal is simple: come celebrate Global Running Day with the broader Athletic Annex community.
Kids are absolutely welcome. Beer and wine will be available for purchase for adults age 21 and over.
