Uprising

Temperatures are rising and so are we.

Uprising is a tool — for catalyzing runner environmental stewardship — that maps runner activism engaging the climate crisis and ecological threats. It identifies trail running groups and events across the United States working on things such as: mitigating, and adapting to, climate change; environmental sustainability; protecting and restoring public lands; and equitable and safe access. The map includes groups and events that do two or more of the following:

1

Pursue increasingly environmentally sustainable operations and events

2

Promote climate and environmental literacy, and land acknowledgement

3

Fundraise for an environmental organization or an environmental cause

4

Volunteer for conservation work, e.g., restore habitats (trail work counts)

5

Advocate for climate action, environmental protection, or equitable access
