Track record
Climate relays work, big time!
In 2022, we launched Running Out of Time - a 7,767 km, 40 day, non-stop relay run, the longest non-stop relay ever attempted, from Glasgow (COP26 host) to Sharm, el Sheikh (COP27). The event was an overwhelming success!
10,000+ participants took part in 732 relay stages, across 18 countries. Baton carriers have included Olympians, young people, Presidents, First Ministers, mayors, government ministers, city councillors, NGOs, community groups, ambassadors, activists, students.
818,349 people signed The Message held inside the relay baton calling for universal climate education and over 150 news outlets covered the relay with a UVM of 943 million, including the finale being live streamed by ITV Good Morning Britain, and features from The Guardian, BBC, Runners World, United Nations, USA Today, UNESCO, Times Radio, and MSN.
