This Wednesday, June 2, is Global Running Day 2021. This worldwide celebration of running will virtually unite people across the world in a global effort to encourage wellness and strengthen community. United Way of Greater Newark is hosting a Virtual 5k Walk/Run, encouraging all to Run or Walk Anywhere and donate to support their work and make an impact on our community.
While many are eager to put 2020 behind us, members of our community, including families and small business owners, are facing unprecedented economic hardships. As social distancing forces us apart, compassion and connection continue to defy that distance. You can run any time of day, post your 5k time on social media and tag The Newark Times and United Way of Greater Newark. Where can you run/walk?
Around your block/neighborhood
On the treadmill
In a local park/track
