Organiser's description

Bringing awareness to the critically endangered crocodilian, the INDIAN GHARIAL! While all crocodilians are extraordinary, this species located in India and Nepal is especially unique and distinguishable by their narrow snouts and bulbous "ghara". Come learn & show your support for gharials and other crocodilians while getting out to exercise at the same time -- preferably in nature! Any and all welcome!

This challenge is a VIRTUAL 5K RUN, WALK, OR HIKE that can take place wherever you choose and can be done solo or with others. Throughout the challenge, we invite you to learn and educate yourself more on these endangered reptiles, as well as discover nearby zoos that may care for them and are furthering conservation efforts.
