adidas x Parley Run for the Oceans

ON April 27, 2021 by Sean Jefferson

11 days of running to help save the oceans. 

RUN TO HELP END PLASTIC WASTE

Run For The Oceans is a global movement that taps the power of sport to raise awareness about marine plastic pollution and inspire positive action against it.

THE MORE YOU RUN, THE MORE PLASTIC WASTE GETS CLEANED UP*

*Up to 500,000 pounds

By uniting athletes around the world through running, we will help end plastic waste in our oceans – one of the biggest opponents we have ever faced. Each kilometer run between May 28 – June 8 will help clean up 10 plastic bottles (up to 500,000 pounds) from beaches and islands.

Registration opens May 18. In the meantime, there’s some syncing to be done. 

Follow these steps below to ensure your run activities count towards the fight to end plastic waste:

ZWIFT RUNNERS MAKE A DIFFERENCE
