1. 2021 Ice Cream Day
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! This national ice cream day let’s run (or walk) for our favorite frozen treat. Sign up for this year’s annual Ice Cream Day 1 mile, 5k, 10k, half, or full marathon. This year’s run is virtual so you can run in your neighborhood, on a track, down the beach, anywhere you feel comfortable! 20% of the proceeds will benefit Operation Smile, which works to provide surgical care for children suffering from cleft lip or cleft palate. This virtual run is the perfect way to stay active in honor of a delicious sweet treat.
