Why It Matters

Rainforests are often described as the lungs of the Earth, absorbing carbon, producing oxygen, and providing a home for millions of species. Yet they are under constant threat from deforestation and climate change. The Rainforest Run gives everyone, everywhere, the chance to be part of the solution.

“By signing up, you’re not just running a distance, you’re running for the future of our planet,” said Gavin Bruce, CEO of International Animal Rescue. “Every step, every pound or dollar raised, and every tree planted brings us closer to protecting ecosystems that sustain life on Earth. We’re thrilled to see so many individuals, families, and teams join this year’s event.”
