On June 3, We Run Together.

Global Running Day is our holiday! A celebration of the activity we love and the sport that brings our community together. We invite all runners and walkers to join us for this free event on Wednesday, June 3, to mark the occasion, set a goal, and cross the finish line. We encourage you to bring your family, friends, and neighbors. This year, we will also have an a la carte option to be chip-timed.

This year's event will be happening in-person at Central Park and will be a 5k distance on the beautiful Riverwalk! The race will begin at 7:00 PM. Packet pick-up will be at the Fleet Feet Mishawaka store (3522 Grape Road, Mishawaka, IN) on Tuesday, June 2, 2026 between 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM and day-of-packet-pickup will be available starting at 5:00 PM from the Bendix Pavilion at Central Park.

The Big Run Finisher Medals, Shirts, and Hats can be purchased in the event store.

The Big Run has partnered with Girls on the Run for this event and encourages participants, if able, to donate their registration fee to Girls on the Run. You can donate during your registration or click on the link below for Girls on the Run.

Help Us Give Back: Through our charitable arm, Do the Run Thing™, Fleet Feet has partnered with Girls on the Run and its SoleMates program so we can help more girls cross more finish lines. Why? Because everyone benefits when we support our kids.

Here are two ways you can help:

  1. Become a Solemate! Solemates raise critical funds for Girls on the Run while completing a physical challenge. You don't need to be a star athlete to join—you only need to be a champion for the girls in their communities.

  2. Donate to your local Girls on the Run council. Your donation will benefit Girls on the Run programs and participants in the Michiana community.

    🌎 Reduce, Reuse, ReRun 5K – An Earth Day Pub Run Special

    Celebrate Earth Day the Fleet Feet Mishawaka way — by running, reusing, and repurposing!

    The Reduce, Reuse, ReRun: 5K Earth Day Pub Run is a timed 5K taking place during our Wednesday night Pub Run, turning a night we already love into a one-of-a-kind Earth Day event. Instead of creating more stuff, we’re giving new life to race items and gear from years past — because the most sustainable race is the one that already exists.

    ♻️ What Makes This Race Different

    ⏱️ Chip-timed 5K course

    🏃 Random race bibs from previous Fleet Feet events

    🏅 Mismatched medals, including donated medals from the local running community

    👕 Optional $5 race shirt grab bag — choose your size, design is a surprise

    🍻 The energy and community of our weekly Pub Run

    Your bib, medal, and shirt will not match — and that’s the whole point.

    🔄 Earth Day Gear Swap

    In the spirit of reuse, we’re hosting a running gear swap alongside the event.

    Bring one gently used running item (clothing or accessories)

    Drop off your item before the start of the race

    After you finish the 5K, browse the swap and take one new-to-you item

    It’s a great way to clear out your drawer and refresh your running kit — no money required.

    👟 New Balance Shoe Demo

    We’re excited to have New Balance sponsoring the Pub Run for Quarter 2! Their team will be on-site with shoe demos, so you can test out the latest New Balance models during the event.

    💲 Registration & Add-Ons

    $15 — Timed 5K registration (includes bib + medal)

    $5 — Optional shirt add-on (grab bag style; size guaranteed, design not)

    🌱 Why We’re Doing This

    In honor of Earth Day, we’re choosing reuse over new, community over perfection, and fun over flash. By repurposing race items, swapping gear, and welcoming donated medals, we’re reducing waste while celebrating the miles we’ve already logged.

    Whether you’re chasing a PR, trying out new shoes, or just here for the post-run beverage, this event is about moving together and giving old gear a second life.

    Come run. Come reuse. Come celebrate Earth Day with us.

    To grow our impact and reach even more children and families, we offer participant fundraising through RunSignup. There is no obligation to raise funds, but if you feel called to the mission, you have an opportunity to do so. With participants able to fundraise, we have the potential to make an incredible impact! With the tools that RunSignup provides, it's a simple and seamless process.
