Find a Blue Jean Mile Near You!

This May, one mile can change everything. Put on your favorite pair of blue jeans and join us for the 6th annual ASICS Blue Jean Mile.

In 2020, Johnny Gregorek set the first-ever Blue Jean Mile world record in honor of his late brother, Patrick. Six years later, what started as a personal tribute has become a tradition to raise awareness and funds to support mental wellness.

ASICS takes its name from the Latin phrase Anima Sana In Corpore Sano, meaning "A Sound Mind in a Sound Body." We are a brand founded on the principle that movement is important not just for the body, but also for the mind.

It's summer - lets get our kids to....

SWIM! BIKE! and RUN!

This is a part of Floridaraceday.com Kids Triathlon Series

Kids Triathlon participants will swim in the pool, run about a quarter mile, jump on their bikes, and then off on their feet for the running portion. The events will be chip timed with a finisher time. Distances are based on the age of the child. Kids must supply their own bikes and must wear a helmet to participate. We are sorry, but no training wheels allowed.
