Event Description
ZENRUN is a meditative 5K run that will take place on November 17th, 2019 at the Historic Virginia Key Beach Park in Miami. ZENRUN is also a virtual race. Thus, participants can run on site or as virtual runners from wherever they are worldwide. They can run around their neighborhood, through a forest, or on a treadmill by connecting with the ZENRUN APP.
This year ZENRUN participants will run contemplating joy because when you keep your mind pleasant you are better at everything you choose to be and do.
ZENRUN is based on the idea that people strongly unified by a common intent can profoundly influence a larger group of people. Thus, by focusing the mind on pleasant thoughts while connected with other runners all over the world, we can generate an incredible life transforming energy.
The foundation of ZENRUN is that by Meditating and Contemplating together we create a shared intent that is a powerful force for change. Join us! Let's run with intent and bring people together in Joy!
