Welcome to the Run for One Planet
An 11,000-mile run across Canada & around the USA to
inspire environmental action
The Run for One Planet is an ongoing run endeavour focused on "Inspiring Environmental Action, One Step at a Time".
The Run for One Planet 2008/2009 North America Tour is our kick-off initiative - a carbon neutral year-long run around the continent by two Canadians, Matt Hill and Stephanie Tait, to inspire Environmental Action. Our goal is to run 1 marathon each per day, inspire 1 million new Actions for Earth and raise $1 Million for our Legacy of Action. To do this, we will be running approximately 11,000-miles (or 17,700 km) into communities, towns, and cities to meet with, speak to, and inspire people to take simple daily actions. To improve our Planet's environment we know that "Small Steps Add Up" and that collectively we can each make a difference in our quest to improve ourselves and our environment. We hit the pavement from Vancouver on May 4th 2008.
Upon completion of the tour, funds donated to the Run For One Planet will be used to set up a unique Legacy of Action that will be poised to lead the emerging field of environmental and lifestyle education for kids.
