The Big Run Roanoke!

The Big Run | Global Running Day Celebration
On June 3, we’re throwing a party… and you’re invited.
Join us for The Big Run, our annual Global Running Day celebration where we inspire the runner in everyone—no matter your pace, your distance, or your story. Whether you’re chasing a PR, walking your first 5K, or just showing up for the vibes, this is your moment.
This year is extra special as we celebrate the 10th anniversary of The Big Run®, and we’re proud to serve as the official 5K of the Virginia Commonwealth Games—bringing together our local community for an evening of movement, connection, and pure joy.
Fallon Park, Roanoke

Wednesday, June 3

6:00 PM start
But let’s be real… this isn’t just a race.
It’s a celebration of everything we love about this community—showing up, cheering loud, and doing something good together. Proceeds from the event benefit Smiles4Tab, so every step you take helps make an impact beyond the finish line.
And when you cross that finish line? The party is just getting started:

Cake (because obviously)

Foam party at the finish

Music + post-run hangs with your people
Come for the run, stay for the vibes, and leave feeling like part of something bigger.
Let’s make this the biggest, happiest, most joy-filled run of the year
