About the Event

In May 2020, Johnny Gregork, ASICS athlete, set out to break the world record for the Blue Jean Mile in honor of his brother, Patrick, who lost his battle with mental illness at just 21-years-old in 2019. Paddy, as he was affectionately referred to by his family, enjoyed running for the fun of it, as Johnny had early on. And Johnny felt Paddy would have enjoyed watching him try to run the mile as fast as possible in a pair of blue jeans.

Join Fleet Feet Durham, ASICS and Latinas Run & Latinos Run Raleigh-Durham for a local Blue Jean Mile to support our community's mental fitness. Come out to the run in your fastest blue jeans and run in support of mental health!

We'll start the event with a 1 Mile Run/Walk in Blue Jeans at 6:30 pm and then will offer the usual run route for anyone who would like more distance. Stick around for treats and goodies after the run and enjoy community with each other!

About Durham

Learn more about the host city, Durham.

Of the three cities that make up North Carolina's Research Triangle, Durham has traditionally been the one with the grittier, more working-class image. A city of just over 300,000 residents in 2026, Durham has moved beyond a "tobacco town" with a prestigious university at its center to become a regionally and nationally recognized symbol of urban renewal, gentrification, technology and diversity. Durham's vibrant African-American community was historically pioneering in United States Black culture, from the arts to finance.
