In the face of declining air quality, a community of runners rises up. Running Up For Air is technically a race. But anyone will tell you it has an impact far beyond what that simple word implies.

Healthy forests mean clean air for communities.

Runners are connected to the simple yet vital act of breathing fresh air. Our voices are powerful, and every step makes a difference.
