From the Organizer
On June 2nd at 6:30 pm, all Fleet Feet locations will participate in the The Big Run, a nationwide event coinciding with Global Running Day. We will be holding a timed race this year. We want to see the whole community participate because, seriously, running together rocks. Let us recap the ways: You get to join Fleet Feet communities across the country participating in a nationally-coordinated event in different locations all on the same day. It's on a Wednesday-who couldn't use a mid-week pump-up? We know some people. And some pretty cool brands. Let's just say, we're planning some fun raffle giveaways and category prizes. The Big Run is open to runners of all levels and abilities. Come celebrate with us at Fleet Feet Irmo!
Register by Wednesday, May 19th to be guaranteed a t-shirt!
This race will not be marshaled.
