Last year, 16,000 runners across the country participated in the nationwide 5K, The Big Run, on Global Running Day.

In 2019, The Big Run is back and bigger than ever.

On June 5, Fleet Feet locations nationwide, in partnership with Brooks, will hold a certified, timed 5K race.

All results from these races will funnel up into a national leader board to determine and reward the overall fastest runners and age groupers in the country with some pretty cool cash prizes. And since this is Fleet Feet, and we celebrate and welcome runners of all abilities and levels, we will also recognize runners with some truly unique awards, including:

Common Ground: Finish at the most common finish time for The Big Run, and we'll enter you into a drawing for something BIG!

Middle of the Pack: We'll recognize the male and female who finish in the exact middle of all The Big Run results.

Social Butterflies: We'll thank the two people with the most-engaged social media posts from The Big Run with some pretty sweet prizes.

Curious to check out last year's event? Search #thebigrun on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter to see how our epic coast-to-coast running community celebrated at The Big Run.

All finishers of the 5k event AND the "Little Run for Kids" will receive an incredible finishers' medal.

NEW THIS YEAR
Our beautiful route will start and finish in front of East Moline's Rust Belt, a revitalized car manufacturing plant turned music venue, brewery, fitness facility, design studio and retail destination. Runners and walkers will soon find themselves atop the berm of the Ben Butterworth Parkway, overlooking the Mighty Mississippi. There could be no better visual backdrop for a BIG Run than our country's BIG waterway!
