Trash is everywhere, it’s in every corner on every block in every country around the world. Even when we try to escape our urban communities into the outdoors we often find litter scattered around our favorite trails. But what if every time we passed or ran by a piece of trash, we picked it up?
Caring for our environment instead of ignoring the problem is the mission behind Run for the Planet, a worldwide bi-annual event and fundraiser organized by international running group Dirtbag Runners and global movement Tuesdays for Trash.
WHEN & WHERE: On Saturday, September 18th, participants around the world will be joining together for a community led or individual run with the intention to pick up trash seen along their chosen route -- whether it be around their neighborhood, a trail or city streets.
OUR "WHY": The event encourages individuals to become changemakers and take actions that promote a healthier home, not only for us humans but the wildlife and marine species that inhabit this Earth alongside us. This year’s event happens to take place on National and World Cleanup Day which we’re honored to be partnering with to create such a positive impact.
