2,436km - 210 Stages - One Mission
In 2024, by popular demand, we’re back! We'll run, walk, cycle, kayak, climb, wheel, swim and surf the baton across Britain for 29 days to supercharge awareness, celebrate great climate work and inspire action. A route that takes us within easy reach of 20 million people!
The Relay launches 6th June at Ben Nevis before undertaking an extraordinary 2,436km journey to Big Ben in Parliament Square, London on July 4th. Comprising 210 stages - and 80+ visits to climate & nature projects, sporting bodies & venues, schools, events and iconic locations - it's set to be the most spectacular Climate Relay yet!
