Next Apple Watch Activity Challenge to Take Place on June 5 to Celebrate Global Running Day

Apple is planning a new Apple Watch activity challenge for June 5, which is Global Running Day. This is an Apple Watch activity challenge that Apple has not offered in the past, so it is a new day and a new award.
