Celebrate Global Running Day with TCS

This Wednesday, June 1st, is Global Running Day. For many of us, running has become a way to deal with the difficult challenges of the last few years. It’s good for your mental and physical health—and it’s something you can do anywhere, with anyone.

Most of you know that we sponsor premier international running events—like the TCS NYC Marathon and the TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon, among others—to motivate our customers, employees, and communities to strengthen their bodies and minds through running. As a company, we believe running connects diverse communities, inspires individuals to lead healthier lives, and achieve personal goals through belief and commitment.?

Personally, I am energized to restart my running journey. Prior to COVID, I would run low mileage weeks, which turned into long walks with my wife over the course of the pandemic. I am looking at the calendar to plan my return to racing—perhaps one of the 5Ks we sponsor in the fall!

Here are some ways you can participate with Team TCS to help celebrate Global Running Day:?

Pledge Your Miles

You can pledge your miles by visiting the link above, then on Global Running Day share photos from your run or walk on social media using the hashtags #TeamTCS #GlobalRunningDay, and #BuildingonBelief. It’s a great way to show how with each step, you’re building on belief.

Participate in a Walking Meeting

Another way you can be active on Global Running Day is to engage in a walking meeting. Instead of taking a call from your desk or workspace, take it while walking around your house or outside. As an avid walker, I can personally attest to the value a refreshing walk can bring to your busy workday.

Join me in Pledging Your Miles

On this Global Running Day—and indeed, every day—I encourage you to join #TeamTCS runners from all walks of life to celebrate the joys and benefits of movement. See you on the course!
