Making a difference
#OneMillionTreeProject
We believe that we can make a difference, one step at a time.
The running community can achieve great things and with this in mind, we set ourselves a lofty goal to plant ONE MILLION TREES over the next 5 years through our virtual runs!
Let's start running....and talking.
As always, we'll be on social media chatting, supporting and helping to inspire one another throughout October. We’ll be using #runr and #LNBF on Twitter, Instagram, Strava and Facebook, so come and get involved over on social media.
Happy running and be proud to be a runr.
