About 

Running Out of Time 2023 is a 2000km relay from Ben Nevis to Big Ben which aims to supercharge awareness of the climate crisis; change attitudes; and inspire action NOW to reduce carbon emissions and reach net zero.

The relay launches on 10th June and will travel through most of Britain’s major cities and a range of National Parks and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty before reaching Big Ben on 11th July (Big Ben’s birthday).

It follows on from the hugely successful Running Out of Time 2022 – an extraordinary 7767km non-stop relay from Glasgow (COP 26 host) to Sharm el-Sheikh (COP 27 host) in the name of climate action.
