Global Running Day on World Environment Day… What are the odds!

What are the odds that World Environment Day and Global Running Day fall on the same day! The theme for World Environment Day 2024 is “Land Restoration, Desertification, and Drought Resilience,” emphasizing the urgent need to restore degraded lands, combat desertification, and build resilience against droughts.

This theme resonates deeply with trail runners, who often witness the impacts of environmental degradation firsthand. Whether it’s seeing their favorite forest trails turned into concrete eco-sport parks or experiencing blocked access to certain paths due to environmental damage or by authorities in the name of ‘development’, trail runners understand the importance of preserving natural landscapes.

As trail running inherently promotes a strong connection with nature, as a community, Trail Femmes is committed to protecting and preserving these natural spaces. We need to come together, educate one another, and actively engage in supporting land restoration efforts. By doing so, we can ensure that these beautiful trails remain accessible and cherished for many years to come!
