NRD COLLAGE WITH WORDS small

We know you’ve had it marked on your calendar for months, along with your kids’ birthdays: National Running Day is finally here! But we balk at the world national because we know the mother runner tribe is truly international: We’ve met mother runners from every continent, minus Antarctica.

Renaming it International Running Day.

So that’s done.

We’re psyched to celebrate this very, very important holiday in the only suitable way: with a few miles. (Provided you’re not injured or otherwise sidelined.) When—notice the when, not an if—you get out there, snap a pic. Ideally of you in action—or paused in the middle of your miles.

Then tag that badass-ness photograph with what we already so know to be true: #BAMRsRunTheWorld.

So here are the steps to truly celebrate International Running Day:
1. Take a pic of you in action on the trail, road, etc.
2. Slap #BAMRSRunTheWorld on it.
3. Then #location. Zoom in or out as far as you want: could be #SEDenver or #Colorado or #RockyMountains or #USA…
4. Send it into social media. (If you feel like it, Tweet it to us @themotherrunner or tag us on Instagram @TheMotherRunner or post it on our Facebook page).
5. Then return promptly to running the world.

Let’s see how many #BAMRsRunTheWorld—and how much of the world we run!

(And then maybe, just maybe Beyonce will have all of us do a cameo at her next concert…)

Happy International Running Day, all!
