3. Join adidas’s ‘Run for the Oceans’ challenge
Lock in those kilometres this week/end because every km counts in the ‘Run for the Oceans’ challenge, which is happening from now till World Oceans Day on 8 June. For the unfamiliar, the challenge is a collaboration between adidas and Parley to help raise awareness about marine plastic pollution as well as to reduce said plastic waste. It’s the fourth year that they’re doing it, and to date, the collaboration has seen over three million runners from around the world uniting for this cause, clocking in a total of 25.5 million kilometres and raising US$2.5 million to help Parley with its initiatives and educational programs.
This year, for every km tracked with the adidas Running app, the brand will clean up the equivalent weight of 10 plastic bottles—up to a maximum of 500,00 lbs (approximately 226,796 kg)—from beaches, remote islands and coastlines. You can run, jog, walk, or wheelchair to take part, so long as you track it with the app.
As we’re currently under FMCO, just bear in mind to adhere to the SOPs set by the government: You’re allowed to run outdoors with physical distancing of two to three metres, from 7am to 8pm within the neighbourhood. Alternatively, you can always start investing in home gym equipment or try out fitness gaming.
