Why You Run

By admin

Calling all road warriors, treadmill champs, and anyone in between: Today, June 5th, is the fifth annual National Running Day! Promoted by top running organizations like Running USA, USA Track & Field, and the Marine Corps Marathon, National Running Day was created to encourage runners to celebrate the sport in a bunch of different ways—like finding a new running path, inviting a friend to get in on the action, telling the world why you run, and more.

In honor of the event, Women’s Health asked its Twitter followers to share their reasons for lacing up their sneakers and hitting the road. Check them out below!
