The 4th Annual National Run @ Work Day!

When: Friday, September 18, 2009

Goal: To raise awareness about the importance of daily physical activity for adults.

"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 walking or running into their daily lives. A Run@Work Day event can be hosted by a running club, an individual, or a corporation. Run@Work Day events should be a running or walking event lasting at least thirty-five minutes before work, during lunch, or immediately after work. A Run@Work Day event can be as simple as taking your co-workers out for a lunch time walk or a Run@Work Day event can be an afternoon fun run designed to bring out hundreds of people in a community or a company.

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. If adults can lead by example, if companies can encourage healthy living, then together we can combat the national inactivity and obesity crisis gripping our nation and our children."
