Registrations are now open for runners (and cyclists) to join the extraordinary Running Out of Time climate relay.
What is Running Out of Time?
Running Out of Time will be the longest non-stop relay ever attempted with runners passing a baton containing a powerful climate change message from young people to the decision makers at COP27.
Organised by The World Relay Ltd, the relay route is split into 732 stages of around 10km each. The relay runs day and night for 38 days and travels to 18 countries: from Glasgow (COP26 host) on 30 September to Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt (COP27 host) on 6 November.
It passes through Wales on 5-6 October.
We’re proud to supporting the relay, and will be working with schools, businesses, and volunteers to showcase inspiring climate action taking place across the country.
It’s an extraordinary challenge, requiring extraordinary effort, to achieve extraordinary change. And the good news is you can join in too.
