Worldwide Clean-Up & Fundraiser September 20th
Run For The Planet
Our Why
Trash is everywhere, it’s in every corner on every block in every country around the world. Even when we try to escape our urban communities into the outdoors we often find litter scattered around our favorite trails. But what if every time we passed or ran by a piece of trash, we picked it up?
Caring for our environment instead of ignoring the problem is the mission behind Run for the Planet, a worldwide annual event and fundraiser organized by international running group Dirtbag Runners and global movement Tuesdays for Trash.

…
On Saturday, September 20th, join us around the world for a community led or individual run with the intention to pick up any trash you find along your chosen route! It can be around your neighborhood, a trail, favorite park or city streets. During the event, all participants are encouraged to stream, share, and discuss their findings on personal social media while tagging @TuesdaysForTrash / @DirtbagRunners or #RunForThePlanet to encourage others to join and leave our planet a cleaner and healthier home for us all. We can’t wait to see the global changes made and look forward to sharing the results of our impact together!
When & Where
The event encourages individuals to become changemakers 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. This year’s event happens to take place on National and World Cleanup Day which we are honored to be partnering with to create such a positive impact.
Mission
This year our fundraising aspect is also focusing on seabed cleanups to restore coral ecosystems in the mediterranean that have been damaged by trash. Donating $10 or more will enter you into a raffle from our sponsors at GIVE including a sustainable prize pack and a $25 donation will enter you into a $200 gift card that can be applied to their responsible travel trips! A donation of $45 or more will earn you a dedicated coral adoption with traceable coordinates in Spain certified by Coral Guardian! Please click the button below to enter :)
