My Big Run and Microbrew Mile kick off summer running in the QCA"},"content":{"rendered":"

As the world needs some solidarity this week, Quad Cities race directors, Phil Young and Josh Sherrod talk about how the running community is coming together today for Global Running Day with the Fleet Feet\/Brooks: My Big Run and The Microbrew Mile event this month. With the success of Fleet Feet\u2019s Fanny Pack Frenzy 5k in April, Young knows that as fun as virtual runs have been, the running community is chomping at the bit to get some real races back as soon as it\u2019s safe. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe timing was great,\u201d said Young. \u201cWe needed to engage a community of runners that were frustrated and didn\u2019t know what to do next.\u201d And with My Big Run today where you can run one-mile, a 5K, 10K half-marathon or full marathon, Young knows that the QC running support has always been there and hopes it will continue to be long after this virtual world passes. \u201cI think you\u2019ll have people sign up because they always do it and they want to support that event,\u201d explained Young. \u201cAnd they know the race director or things like that.\u201d<\/p>

As for Sherrod, this would have been the seventh year for his Microbrew Mile that usually takes over downtown Moline in late June. Going virtual was inevitable but still a tough decision for him. \u201cThis year was going to kind of be our big year,\u201d explained Sherrod. \u201cThis would have been our first year with the finisher medals and the first year with the kid\u2019s race.\u201d And he also knows that with all the races going virtual lately, choosing one can also be a challenge. \u201cI think we\u2019re getting into that downward phase because there are just so many of them, it\u2019s hard to choose what you want.\u201d<\/p>\n

As June and July have pretty much went all virtual for runs, August and beyond seem hopeful for some traditional running events again. And whenever that first time back at the starting line may be, they both will be there ready to welcome everyone back, one mile at a time. \u201cThe first notable event that gets to be hosted,\u201d said Young. \u201cEven with precautions measures, waves or whatever needs to happen, is going to be big and it will be a lot of fun.\u201d<\/p>\n
