Imagine crossing the finish line not only with a sense of achievement but also knowing that your run has contributed to a healthier planet. The Run for the Planet is more than just another race; it’s a movement that allows runners to take part in environmental action while doing what they love. Taking place in the stunning Battersea Park, London, this unique event offers 10k, 5k, and 10k relay race options, giving participants of all levels the chance to make a real difference.
Why This Matters
Our planet is in crisis. Both the WWF and RSPB have issued red alerts for nature in 2024, highlighting the urgency of taking action to combat climate change and environmental destruction. Through Run for the Planet, we’re turning running into a force for good—because every step taken on race day is a step towards restoring our planet.
Our Partnership with Climategames
To amplify the impact of this event, we’ve partnered with Climategames, an innovative app that turns fitness into climate action. Climategames gives people a way to play their part in restoring the planet through their exercise. We connect organisations and people with positive climate projects through the power of movement and play. Our goal is to make everyone’s movement matter.
Using our platform, every swim, cycle, run, row, workout, or walk can plant trees, remove plastic from the ocean, or sequester carbon from the atmosphere with one of our fully vetted environmental partners. Organisations and individuals can host and join challenges on our app, where all attendees' activity helps to restore the planet.
By joining the Run for the Planet London event, you’ll directly contribute to removing plastic from the ocean through the Resea Project. Every runner who participates via the Climategames app will help eliminate 120kg of plastic waste, preventing it from harming marine life and polluting our waters.
