From the Organizer
In May 2020, Johnny Gregork, ASICS athlete, set out to break the world record for the Blue Jean Mile in honor of his brother, Patrick, who lost his battle with mental illness at just 21-years-old in 2019. Paddy, as he was affectionately referred to by his family, enjoyed running for the fun of it, as Johnny had early on. And Johnny felt Paddy would have enjoyed watching him try to run the mile as fast as possible in a pair of blue jeans.
Join Fleet Feet Durham, ASICS and Latinas Run & Latinos Run Raleigh-Durham for a local Blue Jean Mile to support our community's mental fitness. Come out to the run in your fastest blue jeans and run in support of mental health!
We'll start the event with a 1 Mile Run/Walk in Blue Jeans at 6:30 pm and then will offer the usual run route for anyone who would like more distance. Stick around for treats and goodies after the run and enjoy community with each other!
