According to the internet, it’s Hug a Runner Day. If it wasn’t for social media I’d miss all the best fake holidays*.
Run the Edge is hoping to raise $1 million hugs. I’m not sure they are counting, but I did my part on my run tonight. Also, I’m now banned from my local track.
*I can’t find a Hug a Runner Day Wikipedia page, so it may be a hoax.
Title: Cher – The Shoop Shoop Song (It’s in His Kiss). 1990.

If it isn’t on wiki, it isn’t real…
Exactly, although I just had an alarmingly thought… I think that means I’m not real.
What a great holiday!
Agreed. Every day is hug a sweat runner day in this household. Although sometimes it’s a little like Pepe la Pew chasing the cat. I’m the smelly runner avoiding cat.
banned from the track?
Stick to runners you know
.
I thought if you read it on the internet, it was true?
I thought if you read it on Wikipedia it’s true. Thousands of undergrads can’t be wrong.
Exactly!
Ha ha. I hugged a runner friend while running today. Does it count that I had no idea it was “Hug a Runner Day” until later??
It counts double because it came from the heart, not the Internet.
