is June 2nd
There are events happening all over the country, and everyone is encouraged to organize their own event if one isn't scheduled for their area already. If you know of an event not listed on the site, go ahead and add it for others! From the website: It's all about that first step! Running is an incredibly healthy, easy, and accessible form of exercise. Whether it’s five minutes, 15 minutes, or 45 minutes, every little bit of time spent running makes a difference in the goal to live healthy, happy, and heart strong.
Of course, the NYRR YPC isn't going to sit and let this great day pass us by... join us for a

As the spring season comes to a close, GOTR chapters across the country are getting ready for the big season end 5K! This is what the girls have been working towards for months.
The 5K races take a lot of preparation and support, before the event and the day of, so each chapter recruits volunteers to help make the event a success.
Our local chapter is looking for help in the following ways:
Race Day Set-Up and Clean-Up Managers
Entertainment Manager
Head Cheerleader
Race-Day Volunteers
Running Buddies (this is a big one - 300 women are needed!)
The NYC 5K is on June 5th at Asphalt Green.

I like to think that being a runner makes me part of an unbelievable community of healthy, determined and all around great people. And one of the best things about that is being able to give back and help others enjoy this great hobby.
