The Big Run 5K

🏃‍♂️ The Big Run 5K Overview

At Fleet Feet....WE LOVE TO RUN! The Big Run 5K is a race being celebrated in Fleet Feet communities all over our nation! In honor of Global Running Day (the first Wednesday of June), the Fleet Feet brand comes together to celebrate our love for running.

We first brought The Big Run to the Clemmons community in 2024. It was AWESOME! For 2025, we are moving the race to Ivey Redmon Park to continue to grow this event, and include our running friends from all over the Triad. Huge thanks to Brooks Sports who is generously sponsoring The Big Run nationwide.
