On June 3rd, let’s inspire the runner in everyone.

The Big Run and Matt's Run to Fight Hunger have combined forces to make Global Running Day in the Triad the best ever!  All proceeds from the race will go to Second Harvest Food Bank.

Come run with us on June 3, 2026!  This is a free fun run.  Yes, free.  We do ask that each person make a donation to Second Harvest Food Bank in order to receive an event t-shirt.  You may pick up your race shirt at Fleet Feet Greensboro on June 2nd from 4-6pm or on the day of the event, June 3rd, 2026 from 12-4pm at Fleet Feet Greensboro and at the race site from 5:30-6:15pm.  The run will actually start and finish in the parking lot next to Mt. Pisgah Church at 2600 Pisgah Church Rd.  To ensure you get a t-shirt, please register by May 18, 2026.  You may register race day and pick up your shirt from 5:30-6:15pm at this location.

Why? Because RUNNING CHANGES EVERYTHING™.

Help Us Give Back: We want to support our local community and give back to the Second Harvest Food Bank.  All proceeds from the event will go towards Second Harvest Food Bank and any additional donations would be appreciated.  Each dollar collected for this event provides 6 meals from Second Harvest to those in need.

About Matt's Run to Fight Hunger: Matt’s Run to Fight Hunger originated to celebrate Matt Ketterman’s 23-year running streak of not missing a day.  Yes, that is 8,700 days in a row.  While Matt retired his streak due to surgery in 2015, his passion for feeding hungry families continues.  Second Harvest Food Bank has been the recipient of thousands of meals due to the generosity of those of you in the running community!
