LONDON (Reuters) - A new series of one-mile runs in 24 cities around the world to celebrate Global Running Day on June 6 and tagged "Run 24:1" was unveiled by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) on Monday.
Partnering with sports ministries, city governments, race organisers and member federations around the world, the IAAF initiative incorporates races to be held in cities across 15 time zones that will each start at the same local time to create a 'simultaneous' worldwide celebration of running.
