Printable Bib and Finisher Certificate

Print a fun Global Running Day bib to make participation even more meaningful and celebratory. Choose a course outdoors or indoors—even on a treadmill! There's no need to track time—just remind the kids to have fun! Once they’ve completed the run or walk, you can print out the official Rising New York Road Runners finisher certificate.

No printer? No worries! Have your kids create their own certificate, and for some extra inspiration, check out our video on how to build your own race kit.

Run with Your Kids

Adults, you can also participate virtually! Join runners from around the globe and run the Virtual NYRR Global Running Day 5K anywhere and anytime between May 31 to June 8.
