  The Running Out of Time Relay event- Join #TeamMDX on 8th October

  Join the Middlesex University team in running/ jogging for Climate Action, on Saturday 8th October 2022 in London.

  The Running Out of Time relay is an initiative which is aiming to highlight the problem of global warming/ climate change, through the medium of a running/ cycling (& sailing) relay between Glasgow, Scotland – the host of last year’s delayed Climate conference (COP26) and this year’s conference (COP27) which is taking place in Sharm-el-Sheikh, Egypt.

  Middlesex University is committed to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and participation in this relay, is a way of demonstrating our support for Climate Action.  This relay event is an opportunity to show support for tackling the problem, in a practical way. I’m sure the atmosphere of the relay event will be really positive, collaborative and enjoyable.

  There are a number of relay legs in London. We have specifically chosen Leg 160 a Stage which is only 4km long to support, but feel free to enter any of the legs which appeal to you.
