Global Running Day 2026

This Global Running Day, we run with purpose.

From May 24 through June 3, Back on My Feet is bringing together runners across 14 cities and beyond with one goal: log 10,000 miles in 10 days in support of individuals overcoming homelessness and addiction.

Running is at the heart of everything we do. It’s how our members build consistency, accountability, and community as they work toward employment and independence. During this challenge, they will log more than 1,200 miles together. Now, we’re asking you to run alongside them.

This is a challenge built for runners of all levels. Whether it’s one mile or ten, every run moves our community forward. When you join, your miles do more than add up on a leaderboard. They help create access to job training, financial stability, and a supportive community that believes in second chances.

Here’s how it works:

• Log your miles during the 10-day challenge. Every mile earns a giveaway entry.
• Give if you can. Every $5 donated earns another entry and fuels our mission.
• Share who you’re running for and invite others to join you. Tag @BackOnMyFeet and use #MilesThatMatter and #BoMF10K so we can follow along and celebrate your impact.

We need just 875 people to commit to one mile a day for ten days to reach 10,000 miles together.

One mile a day. Ten days. A real impact.

Lace up. Show up. Run with us.
