Printable Bib and Finisher Certificate

Kids can print or create their bib to show how they celebrate Global Running Day. Choose a course outdoors or indoors—even on a treadmill! There's no need to track your time—just have fun! Once the kids have completed the virtual 1 mile, you can print out the official Rising New York Road Runners finisher certificate!

No printer? No worries! Have your kids create their own certificate, and for some extra inspiration, check out our video on how to build your own race kit.
