The biggest sporting celebration of climate action and nature ever attempted across Britain will be coming to Cardiff this July. To date over 1000 people have signed up for the 366 stage 2,661km long Running Out of Time Climate Relay taking place between June 10 and July 11 where runners, walkers, wheelers and cyclists will carry the baton from Ben Nevis to Big Ben. Along the way, it will be carried by ordinary people between towns and cities to highlight inspiring community climate action.
On July 3 runners will carry the baton from the Senedd in Cardiff Bay to Railway Gardens in Splott, where there will be an evening showcasing local environmental projects from across the city and opportunities for people to get involved. “The idea is to really focus on the things that people are doing hyper-locally in the street and their community, it's less about the big policy actions and more about what we can do when we get together,” said Hannah Garcia, director of Green Squirrel, the social enterprise behind Railway Gardens.
“It's a chance to highlight community climate action across the whole country and show that ordinary people are doing really inventive and exciting things to protect against climate change, reduce its impacts and improve community resilience at the same time.”
