Running Out Of Time

Hello! The longest non-stop relay ever attempted is starting in October 2022, over 7200km from Glasgow in Scotland to Sharm El-Sheikh in Egypt, in the name of climate action. Community leaders, school children and neighbours will pass a relay baton hand-to-hand across 18 countries and show the world what we can achieve if we work together. An extraordinary challenge, requiring extraordinary effort, to achieve extraordinary change.Listen to Danny Bent, cofounder of The World Relay, about what we hope to accomplish! What better way to represent the unity and strength we wish to see from today's leaders than an inclusive relay linking together thousands of inspiring climate action projects?Spoiler alert: We did it and made a world record at the same time!!! The United Nations' convention, UNFCCC, recognised our effort as one of the most significant events in the build up to climate summit. Over 4,500 people participated across 18 countries. We drew huge media attention, with a UK reach of over 17 million and millions more across the entire route. And we delivered an important climate message, endorsed by 825,760 people, to the leaders at the global climate summit in Egypt (COP27), urging more support to help people tackle the climate crisis locally where they live.
