EVENT DESCRIPTION
The adidas Run For The Oceans mission is back May 23—June 8!
Before lacing up, make sure you connect your adidas Running app to your Zwift account. Then, sign up for the Run For The Oceans mission in the app and on Zwift. That’s it! Now all you need to do is tell your friends. And tell your friends’ friends—because every km we run from May 23—June 8 counts to help End Plastic Waste!
This year, we’re upping the impact Zwifters can make. For every 10-minutes of run activity logged, adidas x Parley Ocean School will remove the equivalent weight of one plastic bottle (up to 250.000 kg/ 500,000 lbs) will be cleaned up and/or intercepted from at-risk oceanside communities.
All it takes for you to complete the mission is to run 20 km. New this year, we’re leaning on the power of community and have included a special community unlock. When we collectively reach 50,000 km, everyone participating will receive the in-game adidas Ultraboost 22 shoes.
Ready? Set? Run For The Oceans!
THE ROUTES:

ABOUT ADIDAS:
adidas is the largest sportswear manufacturer in Europe, and the second largest in the world. Since 2015, they’ve partnered with the Parley Ocean School as a key eco-innovation collaborator to explore and pioneer ways to create a plastic free ocean. As adidas continues to address their overall carbon footprint, they’re shifting to using 100% recycled polyester in their products by 2024. Since 2012, they’ve innovated ways to tackle the problem of plastic waste in how they make their products. By 2024, they'll be off virgin polyester completely.

Initiatives are led in collaboration with local schools, NGOs and governments.
