<p>On June 3, let’s inspire the runner in EVERYONE!</p> <p>2026 marks the 10th year of The Big Run®, our annual 5K event celebrating Global Running Day. In partnership with Virginia Amateur Sports and Brooks Running, we celebrate our local communities by bringing tens of thousands of runners together to cross a finish line and achieve a goal.</p> <p>The Big Run will be the official 5K for the Virginia Commonwealth Games! With its tagline of &#34;Inspiring wellness &amp; competition&#34; the Games represent the true spirit of amateur athletics. For some, this celebration of sport is a stepping stone for following the dream of representing the United States in the Olympic Games. For others, the Games are a place to compete in a favorite pastime. Regardless of the age or skill of the athlete, the Virginia Commonwealth Games provide the pure pleasure of competing for the love of sport.</p> <p><span style="color:#ff0000"><strong>CHECK OUT SOME OF THE FUN: </strong></span><br />- Become a Fundraiser!
