Join the excitement at "The Big Run 2026" on Saturday, June 6, 2026, in The Villages, Sumter, FL, as we celebrate Global Running Day with a vibrant community event! This uplifting occasion invites runners and walkers of all ages and abilities to enjoy a breezy 3.1-mile course while embracing the joy of running. Hosted by Fleet Feet-The Villages, this event is all about fun, high-fives, and making lasting memories with friends and family.

In a unique twist, instead of a traditional race fee, participants are encouraged to give generously to the 1% Better Chris Nikic Foundation, which strives to make physical fitness accessible for individuals with intellectual disabilities. It's a fantastic opportunity to not only enjoy a great workout but also support a meaningful cause. So grab your sunscreen, dress for the weather, and get ready for a day filled with energy, laughter, and community spirit. Don’t miss the chance to be part of this epic celebration of running—see you there!
