their best running watches, and take to the streets, trails, parks, or
nearest treadmill.

I get a lot of emails about different 'holidays' I've never heard of before
in my inbox (make sure you don't forget to send your National Avocado Day cards out to friends and family this year!) but Global Running Day is always easy to participate in and get a reward from, particularly if you're using a fitness tracker or a service like Strava to track your runs. Strava users who log and complete a 5K run on June 3 get access to two weeks of Runna Premium for free. Runna is a personalized AI training plan service that adapts to
your logged workouts, changing the plan based on your performance. We rated
it an impressive 4.5 stars in our Runna review, so it's well worth trying to see if it's right for you.

You'll need to join the Strava challenge (you can do so through this link ), and once you complete it, you'll receive a two-week offer of Runna Premium. Additionally, you'll score a digital Strava x Runna badge and contribute to Strava's attempt to beat its record for the most 5Ks completed in a single day. More digital badges from Apple and Garmin but no badges for Google Health users (Image credit: Apple) Speaking of digital badges, the Strava x Runna award isn't the only special badge you can collect on Global Running Day.

As usual, users of the best Apple Watches and best Garmin watches can also
get in on the act. Users who complete a running workout on either platform will receive a 'limited edition award', as Apple calls it, signifying the achievement. Apple sent us the image above of this year's Global Running Day award, while Garmin 's 2026 award can be seen on the Garminbadges.com database.

Google Health users won't be able to join in the fun. With Google's pivot from Fitbit Premium to Google Health Coach, it has removed the Badges feature and any historical badges earned.

Instead, Google said on its removal of badges, that "if you have Google
Health Coach, your coach will help to celebrate your progress and accomplishment," so no Global Running Day badge for Google Health users.

I suppose that's a lesson for all of us that love to add new digital badges
