Global Running Day with SAP Community in Melbourne – Wednesday 7th June 2023
This year the #GlobalRunningDay will be held on Wednesday 7th June 2023 but you can run or walk virtually anytime between 3rd June and 11th June so get ready to get your running shoes on. This will be our second SAP Community running event in Melbourne and I am so excited for this.
All SAP Community members are welcome and if you don’t want to run – you can walk or cycle!
The plan is to meet in the morning and run around the tan which is a very well known running track. As per the below diagram we will meet at the Pillars of Wisdom. The track is around 3.8km.

Activity:Â Run/Walk/Cycle around the tan
After: Head to the SAP Mastering conference in Melbourne for the start of the conference – starting at 8:30am AEST.
Join Us!Â
Last year we created a running group in Melbourne on the Global Running Day website however all of this has changed. Teams are no longer registered but we have something better. We have set up an event in the SAP Community so please register and let us know whether you will be joining us via this link: Global Running Day – Melbourne.
On The Day
On the day itself we would welcome everyone adding a comment on this post with a photo and running times (optional) using hashtags #GlobalRunningDay and #SAPCommunity. Those that do (from the 3rd June to 11th June) will earn a badge showcasing their support for this initiative and to also recognise their contributions in the SAP Community.
Here is what the cool badge looks like:

You can also tell us about the event in your country/city/location in this Coffee Corner discussion – feel free to share photos and how it all goes! Hopefully weather is good everywhere on the day!
Global Callout
Last year I had other SAP Community buddies answer my call to support the Global Running Day in their country. This was pretty cool so here is hoping we can all do this together again in 2023.

Stephanie De Camara Marley wrote a blog which shares more "Philly" details...
Global Running Day with SAP Community (June 7) "Get out to smell the roses"
Taking advantage of the nice #Perth weather to get a run in early (forecast for the next few days is rain!)
Long Run - 8km #GlobalRunningDay #NYRRVirtualRacing #sapcommunity #sapcommunityrun
Wow! Great time 🙂
Thanks for sharing!
Excellent running Walter Koenders - thanks for your support!!
Another run for the official #GlobalRunningDay, "enjoying" the humidity in Singapore 🥵
Nice initiative, did it a little bit early, and here it is: 8K on the shore of Oglio river, north Italy 😉
#GlobalRunningDay #SAPCommunity.
Thanks for having been part of this initiative 🙂
Nice Flavio Ciotola - Italy - amazing!!! Well done and thanks for the support!!
Me too, another run on the official #GlobalRunningDay 🙂 #SAPCommunity #sapchampions #sapcommunityrun
I wish I could be running in Australia. Instead, I'll be at my local park (as I am most days) showing my support (along with other members of the Newtown Square group!). #SAPCommunity #GlobalRunningDay
Nice Jerry Janda - thanks for your support mate and hope you are well!!
Things are good, but the skies are bad! I couldn't participate "officially" yesterday, but since we're allowing people to join in through June 11th, I'm going to hope for clearer skies and work to remind people they can still take part this weekend!
Great initiative Phil!
here are a few km from Eindhoven, the Netherlands.

Running day tbroek
Awesome Twan Broek - thanks for joining us from the Netherlands!!
I ran this morning and started at the Pillars of Wisdom. Absolutely perfect morning!! for #GlobalRunningDay with #SAPCommunity
I agree, it looks perfect! Colours definitely match 😉
Thanks for sharing, mine will come tonight. I have started my own Global Running Day initiative in Lampertheim, the small town I live in, and found already 4 contributors! So curious! 🙂
You can barely see the moon this morning on this short walk in Northern Virginia:
Love this initiative Phil Cooley !! Wee bit overcast at times in Galway today - but beautiful none-the-less and great to get some fresh air, as always.
The Galway route this year was along the coast at Renville by the marina, and down past the Galway Bay Golf Resort. Even helped an American golfer relocate his golf ball which had come out as far as the pathway 🙂 I think he needs a little more practise!!!
Galway route for Global Running Day

This would definitely be one of my favourite places to run Katherine Kenneally ! Wonderful!
Great article and thanks for the call, Phil.
Right at the beginning of the run I had a rare spectator who cheered me on. 🙂

#GlobalRunningDay and #SAPCommunity
Hi! Getting started on my Global Running Day walk... FYI: In Greater Philadelphia we're seeing some haze from the fires north of us... As a result, I may make this a global running week and do more once the skies clear up! We'll see! Happy to feel the energy from those of us participating around the globe!
As I commented above, I couldn't run on the 7th, but I did run today (Saturday the 10th) -- and that still counts!
If you're reading this and you also couldn't participate on the 7th, please keep in mind that our event goes through the 11th. That means if you run (or walk or bike) before the 12th, you're still considered a participant in our Global Running Day and you can earn the special community badge!
If you're planning to be outdoors this weekend anyway, why not use the opportunity to support Global Running Day? Simply take pictures of your activity and share them at https://groups.community.sap.com/t5/coffee-corner-discussions/global-running-day-with-sap-community/m-p/260623Â with the #SAPCommunity and #GlobalRunningDay hashtags.
Here are some of my shots if you need a little extra motivation to get out this weekend...
Hello All, I was unable to join on Wednesday, however, I had a walk on Saturday 10 Jun at Melbourne (suburb).It was a windy afternoon with 13°C 🙂 and able to cover 9.1 KM walk.. A great initiative to reflect ourselves 🙂 thanks to all #GlobalRunningDay #SAPCommunity.

Best wishes and Cheers,
