Active Wellness

Active wellness treats movement itself as the wellness practice: running, hiking, cycling and other everyday exercise rather than spa treatments or guided programmes. Global Running Day, held on the first Wednesday in June, encourages people worldwide to run any distance on the same day, while National Trails Day promotes hiking and trail use around the same week. Both are participation-first observances — there is no venue or ticket, just a shared date that public health bodies, running clubs and outdoor organisations use to promote getting outside and moving. Local running clubs, park groups and trail associations typically organise their own free group sessions around each date rather than a single central event.
