The BIG Run

The Big Run

"In 1976, the runner’s high was taking the country by storm. Fifty years later, Fleet Feet and Brooks are still celebrating that feeling with The Big Run, bringing runners together for feel-good movement, summer sunshine and celebration rooted in community.
So join us, and let the good miles roll!"

Lace up your running shoes and join us for a special edition of The BIG Run! Not only will we be celebrating Global Running Day with a FREE community 5K, but we're also celebrating the Fleet Feet's 50th anniversary and the 20th anniversary of the Raleigh/Morrisville franchise!

Here's what to expect: 

🥇 Themed finisher "medals"
👟 A HUGE vendor expo with shoe demos, giveaways, and merch for sale!
☕🍩 Food/coffee trucks for pre & post-run fuel
