Climate RELAY
Theme: Fun-based projects
Company/charity name: Running Out of Time
Where: Ben Nevis – Big Ben
When: 10 June – 11 July 2023 (my relay is 15th June)
What is 'running out of time'?
Running Out of Time is a 2,661km relay from Ben Nevis to Big Ben. There are a total of 366 stages, with stages ranging from 2-30km long. The relay runs from sunrise to sunset for 32 days and travels to 30 counties.
Their goal is for the relay baton to be passed from person-to-person and arrive in London. Most stages will be run and a small number will be cycled. We will also be kayaking, canoeing, paragliding, skiing, mountain biking, walking, wheeling and more!
First developed in 2021, a group of runners took it in turns to run to Glasgow, to attend COP 26 and actively protest about the urgent need to protect our planet. The following year, they set the bold target to run from Glasgow, Scotland to Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt through a myriad of relays covering running, cycling, kayaking etc. again highlighting the urgent need for our heads of country to take immediate action around climate change.
