“Earth Day Ekiden” is a new eco-sport in the new normal era where “earth”, “society” and “friends” become healthy at the same time.

 

April 22nd is “Earth Day” every year. On this day, environmental activities are taking place all over the world. Especially on Earth Day this year, US President Joe Biden will host the Climate Summit. Elon Musk, CEO of US electric vehicle maker Tesla, has released guidelines for a global contest to develop carbon dioxide reduction technologies. This year’s Earth Day is a day of worldwide attention.

 

Toward this Earth Day, Earth Day Tokyo will promote ecology activities that make the “earth,” “society,” and “self” healthy at the same time.

 

The project is “Earth Day Ekiden”. It will be held with the cooperation of the world-famous sports brand ASICS.

 

Earth Day Ekiden is looking for a team of 6 people x 1000 to run 42.195km. Of course, individual participation is also welcome! We are aiming for about 40,000 km around the earth.

 

In the era of COVID-19, we will tackle three problems at the same time.
◎ Company, organization, team building of organization
◎ Promoting the health of society such as work, research, circles, and colleagues
◎ Sustainable society “SDGs”

 

Of the participation fee, the amount excluding the cost will be donated to “Earth Day Forest”. The more people involved, the more forests will be protected.

 

It contributes to global health such as climate change (absorption and fixation of carbon dioxide) and biodiversity. Earth Day Ekiden is a new eco-sport for a sustainable society.
