LONDON: The IAAF Monday announced the creation of IAAF Run 24:1, a series of 24 one-mile runs that will be contested around the world to celebrate Global Running Day on 6 June.
Partnering with sports ministries, city governments, race organisers and member federations around the world, the IAAF initiative incorporates races to be held in 24 cities across 15 time zones that will each start at the same local time to create a 'simultaneous' worldwide celebration of running.
