Event Description

In May 2020, Johnny Gregork, ASICS athlete, set out to break the world record for the Blue Jean Mile in honor of his brother, Patrick, who lost his battle with mental illness at just 21-years-old in 2019. Paddy, as he was affectionately referred to by his family, enjoyed running for the fun of it, as Johnny had early on. And Johnny felt Paddy would have enjoyed watching him try to run the mile as fast as possible in a pair of blue jeans. 

Join Fleet Feet Carrboro and ASICS for a local Blue Jean Mile to support our community's mental fitness. Come out to the track in your fastest blue jeans and work on your mental fitness!  

We will have different heats for different paces so that we can cheer each other on! Stick around for treats and goodies after.
