What’s the problem?

We are in a climate emergency – we cannot run away from that.

In recent years, we have seen a rapid increase in global temperatures, species becoming extinct, habitat loss, and communities displaced.

Runners are part of the solution

We know running is contributing to climate breakdown – but it can also be part of the solution. We were founded in 2022 to support runners make sustainable lifestyle choices and challenge the industry and events to safeguard our planet’s future.

Since then we’ve supported more than 2,000 runners to make changes for a fitter planet and campaigned for greener practices from brands and races, but there is so much more we can achieve and huge potential.

What are we fundraising for?

Until now, we have been volunteer-run, supporting individuals to make big changes in how they live and run.

We are at the start of something truly groundbreaking. There are millions of runners out there wanting to make a difference for the future of our environment, and we want to help them.

By supporting us to raise £50,000, you will be helping us to massively expand our work. The funds will help us recruit several staff members to boost our support for individuals to create a community of empowered runners. We will also work to collaborate with brands, races and clubs to create systemic change in our sport.

Support us today. This is a race we cannot afford to lose.
