Foot Locker hits the ground running for National Running Day

June 1, 2011

Foot Locker went all-out for National Running Day on June 1, 2011. More than 70 runners gathered at the RUN by Foot Locker store at 34 E. 14th St. in New York City for a meet-and-greet with legendary runners and for a 4-mile group run.

Nationwide, running enthusiasts enjoyed a 20% discount available that day online.

RUN by Foot Locker participated in the charity check-in program for Shoes that Fit, the official charity of National Running Day. Visitors wore an "I RUN" statement or picked up a National Running Day sticker — for every sticker selected, New York Road Runners donated $1 to Shoes that Fit (up to $5,000), which will help furnish tens of thousands of athletic shoes to children in need.
