## Description

We're running a mile in blue jeans to raise awareness for mental health and suicide prevention. In 2021, ASICS athlete, Johnny Gregorek set out to run the fastest mile in blue jeans in an effort to raise money for [NAMI](https://www.nami.org/) in honor of his brother, Paddy who lost his life to suicide. Not only did he set the record - 4:06:25 - he raised over $37,000!

This year, we're joining forces with ASICS, Levi's and the Wild Ox Run Club to put on the Blue Jean Mile. Wear your fastest blue jeans and come run or walk a mile with us and get a chance to win a brand new pair of Levi's jeans. All participants receive a free drink or shake from Shake Shack.

While this is a free event, we encourage you to consider making a donation. All donations go directly to[ NAMI of Davidson County](https://namidavidson.org/) and will be matched by Levi's and Fleet Feet Nashville.

*“I want to thank my little brother Paddy for inspiring me every day. And I love him and I miss him and this is for him. This is for anyone else who is out there struggling with their mind at this time or any time. Know that you’re loved and be kind to yourself.” - *Johnny Gregorek
