Once again, CARA will be participating in National Running Day! Help us celebrate on Wednesday, June 1, 2011 by running - by yourself or with a group. From Chicago to New York and beyond, this day is a collaborative effort among major organizations within the running industry aimed at promoting the sport of running as a healthy, easy, and accessible form of exercise.
This year's theme is "I Run..." Go online and tell us why you run! Encourage others to run and keep an eye on our site for information on special events that day!
