National Run @ Work Day
In 1997, the Road Runners Club of America (RRCA) founded the National
Run to Work Day. The purpose of the event was to get runners to
leave their cars at home and run to and from work. While the event
was successful in cities with well developed pedestrian networks
and mass transit, the organization realized that running to work
was probably not feasible for most of the working population.
On September 19, 2008, the Road Runners Club of America will promote the 3rd 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 exercise into their daily lives. This goal can be achieved by a running club, an individual, or a corporation hosting a running or walking event with the duration of at least thirty-five minutes before work, during lunch, or immediately after work. 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.
