Running Out of Time is a record-breaking 7 767 km non-stop relay from Glasgow (COP26 host) to Sharm el-Sheikh (COP27 host) in the name of climate action! Launching on September 30th with a run for 3 000 school students in central Glasgow, it will comprise 700+ (mostly 10 km) stages and travel through 18 countries before arriving at Sharm el-Sheikh on November 6th for the start of COP 27. Inside the baton will be a message on climate action from the young people of today to the world’s leaders at COP 27.
Powered exclusively by humans, the sun and the wind, the relay will unite runners, cyclists and sailors in an extraordinary, epic adventure. The baton will cross seas, mountain ranges, glaciers, and deserts and visit schools, at-risk locations and climate change projects. Gathering support every step of the way, it will arrive at COP 27 with the backing of more than a million voices.
Running Out of Time has been created by One Run – the global leaders in mass participation relays – and is only possible thanks to their environmental, educational and running partners.
