About World Media 5k Run
Unlike most races, which feature age-group competition, the World Media Run is being marketed toward media professionals, and offers recognition for anyone excelling in their professional category.
World Media Run is jointly sponsored by Nxtbook Media, Runners World, FOLIO: Magazine and Wise Group Custom Publishing.
Attendees of FOLIO Pushing Summit may participate in World Media Run for free. Registration for virtual runners is $25. All participants receive a fashionable tech shirt with two-color World Media Run logo. A portion of all proceeds will be donated to Special Olympics. Online registration is available at Active.com
Results from all locations will be co-mingled and posted to the event website upon conclusion of the weekend.

The Shirts Have Arrived!
The tech shirts for World Media Run have arrived! Made by Leslie Jordan in their Cool-Cat Smooth fabric, they are sweet! If you have registered for the virtual portion of this year's race, we'll begin mailing out the shirts on Monday. Heck, we'll probably finish, too, since we don't have very many virtual racers - around a half dozen at last count. However, the "flagship race" in Miami is shaping up very well, with nearly 40 runners registered and expe… Continue

Welcome to Our Blog!

So, what is the World Media Run? That's easy - it's a 5k event, technically open to everyone but marketed specifically to media professionals.
Why Media Professionals? Because we're a bunch of media professionals who like… Continue
