National Run @ Work Day
Scheduled annually on the third Friday in September, which will be September 18, 2009 this year, the Road Runners Club of America will promote the 4th Annual National Run@Work Day. The goal of National Run@Work Day is for RRCA members and individuals across the country to host community based events that encourage people to incorporate at least thirty-five minutes of walking or running into their daily lives. A Run@Work Day event can be hosted by a running club, an individual, or a corporation. Run@Work Day events should be a running or walking event lasting at least thirty-five minutes before work, during lunch, or immediately after work. A Run@Work Day event can be as simple as taking your co-workers out for a lunch time walk or a Run@Work Day event can be an afternoon fun run designed to bring out hundreds of people in a community or a company. The RRCA encourages the American public to incorporate at least thirty-five minutes of exercise into their daily lives which can markedly improve one's overall physical health. If adults can lead by example, if companies can encourage healthy living, then together we can combat the national inactivity and obesity crisis gripping our nation and our children.
To help you plan your Run@Work Day event, the RRCA created the Run@Work Day Planning Kit and Fact Sheet.
To help promote your Run@Work Day event, the RRCA has created a general promotional poster. To obtain a free copy of the promotional poster, send a self addressed, postage paid, legal sized envelop to 1501 Lee Hwy, Ste 140, Arlington, VA, 22209.
Visit the RRCA Publication Store to order multiple Run@Work Day posters.
People hosting Run@Work Day events are encouraged to give participants a copy of the RRCA Brochure. Copies may be obtained by emailing requests to the National Office at
. Be sure to include your name, address, and number of brochures you would like. A fee will apply for brochure requests over 25 copies. You can also simply download and print the RRCA Brochure to circulate.
