In May 2020, during the height of the pandemic, pro ASICS runner Johnny Gregorek took to the track in his spikes, his ASICS singlet and a pair of Levi’s blue jeans in attempt to break the world record for the fastest mile run in blue jeans. Gregorek was running in honor of his late brother, Patrick, who took his own life in 2019 after a battle with mental illness.

Instead of chasing down podium spots and personal records, the Blue Jean Mile is about focusing on community and spreading awareness about mental health resources. It’s also about recognizing the healing power that running has.

Join us on May 9 for our monthly run at Shake Shack on Broadway as we run our own Blue Jean Mile for mental health awareness with the help of our friends at ASICS and NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness )
