Run for the Planet on World Cleanup Day

World Clean-Up Day: Sept 20th

Join us for World Cleanup Day on September 20th! Environmental conservation is one of GIVE’s project pillars, and on any one of our trips, you’ll learn about land stewardship and how we can all do our best to care for our planet. GIVE empowers our participants to be global citizens and while we encourage travel to gain new perspectives and see some of the world first-hand, you don’t have to travel to make a positive impact. Think globally, act locally!

GIVE is partnering with Tuesdays for Trash, a global movement, and Dirtbag Runners, an international running group, to organize Run for the Planet, an annual cleanup event. Join us on September 20th, World Cleanup Day, for an opportunity to unite and take action for our planet, wherever you may be.

See how to win epic prizes below!

When and Where:

On Friday, September 20th, participants around the world will be joining together for a community-led or individual walk to pick up trash seen along their chosen route — whether it be around your neighborhood, a trail, or city streets. During the event, all participants are encouraged to stream, post, and discuss their findings on personal social media platforms while tagging @givevolunteers, @tuesdaysfortrash, and @dirtbagrunners using #RunForThePlanet and #givevolunteers to increase awareness about the issue and enter this year’s raffle. We can’t wait to see the changes made worldwide and look forward to sharing the photos of our impact together!

Why:

The “Run for the Planet” isn’t just another virtual run—it’s a chance to make a tangible difference in your community against the global garbage crisis. By participating in this event, you become a changemaker and take actions that promote a healthier home not only for us humans but the wildlife and marine species that inhabit this Earth alongside us. Your actions will directly contribute to our environment’s preservation and local communities’ well-being. This virtual run offers the flexibility to participate from any corner of the world. We believe that empowering individuals to take action is the key to driving change, and this event gives you a platform to lead by example and inspire others to follow suit.
