Join The Running Kind for the first event of a new mountain running series, Climb It For Climate. This series will be composed of three trail races of three different distances: 5K, Half Marathon & Ultra Marathon.
Phase One: Appalachian Trail
The first event of the series will be on March 25th at Lehigh Gap Nature Center. The race will be a 5K loop, taking runners up the Appalachian Trail and back down on gorgeous, rugged trails to the Nature Center. The course covers 1000ft of vertical gain and loss.
They will be accepting donations for Lehigh Gap Nature Center and the Appalachian Trail Conservancy during registration for this event.
This is a zero carbon event, meaning they take into account the emissions released in relation to hosting this trail race. The Running Kind will be subsidizing the cost to offset the event, however there will be an extra $1 added on to your registration specifically for this cost. This $1 will offset the carbon emissions for your personal travel to and from the event. We are excited to partner with Native Energy to support a carbon offset project we believe in.
In addition to going zero carbon at this event, The Running Kind will be collecting monetary donations for the Appalachian Trail Conservancy and Lehigh Gap Nature Center.
