The worldwide series of runs is taking place a week after the 117th Boston Marathon.

The running campaign was launched out of the chaos of the Boston Marathon bombing with reader’s request to join Pavement Runner (Brian Kelley) in San Francisco a week following the Boston Marathon. It was a simple request and within 48 hours over 150 people signed up to join him. This ignited interest nationwide and today there are over 80 cities participating, over 2,500 runners around the globe running between 3-4 miles in support and remembrance on Monday, April 22, 2013 at 6:00PM.

The official purpose for this global event is to have:

-A run for us to unite and show our strength.
-A run for those that were unable to finish.
-A run for those that may never run again.
-A run for us to try and make sense of the tragedy that has forever changed something we love.

“I feel like I need to do something. Something more than a donation. Something more than a blog post or a photo or a graphic,” said Brian Kelley, Pavement Runner. “I’m inspired by the community and how we have come together and shown our support, shed our tears and expressed our fears. With a simple look at your Facebook page, a refresh of your twitter feed or scroll through Instagram and you can see the love. With #BostonStrong we feel the love.”
