Running out of time – Climate Relay
Running Out of Time was the biggest sporting celebration of climate action and nature ever attempted across Britain in 2024. Thousands of runners, walkers, wheelers and cyclists relayed the baton 12,436km from Ben Nevis to Big Ben; inspiring the nation to take collective action NOW to reach net zero!
What do we do when we’re running out of time? We get moving!
We are calling on everyone – from national government to local government; from individuals to communities; from schools to businesses – to work together to protect our world now and for future generations.
The relay traveled through 50 cities & towns and a range of National Parks and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and featured visits to historic landmarks, stunning natural sites, schools, universities, community projects, cutting edge technology, sporting venues and a host of different and crazy ways to move the baton!
Thanks to the incredible collective effort of over 20,000 people, who ran, walked, wheeled, swam, paddled, cycled, skied, paraglided and sailed the entire route, the event became a 29-day success!
