10,000 Tree Challenge

Thanks to your collective efforts over the past two years, we've planted an impressive 10,000 trees through our four Earth Runs challenges - an incredible achievement! 

 

But what does 10,000 trees actually look like? Our Earth Runs impact report illustrates how planting trees can change our planet for the better. While our battle against climate change is far from over, we can still make a remarkable difference when we work together. 


Text reads "The total number of trees planted: 10,000 trees"
Text reads "Your trees will live for around 75-155 years*
Text reads "They will provide habitats for over 3 million mammals, reptiles, birds and amphibians*
Text reads "Your trees will grow to absorb 91.5 million gallons per year, fighting flooding and soil erosion."
Text reads "Our trees will grow to sequester around 100,000 Kg of carbon per year.*
Text reads "When they mature, they will create  enough oxygen for 1,420 people."
Text reads "They will cover around 5.71 hectares,  the equivalent to 33 football fields."

Thanks to everyone who walked, ran or rolled over the last two years to help us reach our 10,000 tree milestone. 

 

If you didn’t get to take part in an Earth Runs challenge with us, you can still get involved by joining the Earth Runs 1% Club. When you sign up, Earth Runs will plant a tree every day you’re active. 

 

For other ways to make your run planet-friendly, look into booking an appointment or a gait analysis with our kit specialists. They’ll help you make more informed choices for your run, highlighting more planet-friendly kit from the Our Planet range.
