Running Up For Air 2022

Sat 25th June 2022

A person in a blue shirt and orange shorts, wearing a backpack, jumps with arms raised over rugged rocks on a mountain ridge. The scene is framed by steep, green slopes and a wide expanse of clouds under a blue sky. A person wearing a blue jacket jogs on a narrow forest trail. The trail is surrounded by tall, moss-covered trees and dense green foliage. The scene captures the lush, vibrant greenery of the forest from a slightly elevated viewpoint. Two people wearing athletic gear ascend a rocky, mountainous trail at dusk. The sky is dark with rolling clouds, and a small glimpse of the setting sun casts a warm, orange hue over the distant landscape, creating a dramatic and moody atmosphere.

Organiser's Description

Running Up For Air is an endurance challenge calling on runners to accumulate vert in the name of clean air.

In our third edition of the European event, we’re taking the challenge to new heights—asking you to join us in racking up ascent on a run between 1- and 24-hours long. Over hills, on a ski slope, through the mountains, or up the stairs. It all counts.

We are all breathing in toxic air. It damages our health and the environment around us. As trail runners we feel this acutely, but for communities living in valleys, busy cities, and mountain towns, exposure to air pollution is a critical issue. That’s why Running Up For Air 2022 is connecting runners across Europe to raise funds for 18 environmental groups who are campaigning for better air quality.

So whether you’re logging your ascent on alpine trails, or lapping the hill in your local park, every vertical meter matters. A full 24-hour grind or a relaxed hour at chatting pace, pack the gels, grab some friends, and join us for one uplifting day of altitude and awareness.
