Event Description

Let's race to save the world! Between increased greenhouse gasses (through air pollution from factories, food waste, and animal waste, among others) and deforestation, global temperatures have skyrocketed over the last century. Climate change not only makes Earth's overall climate hotter, it also is disrupting wildlife and aquatic life, increasing extreme weather, and creating more food scarcity, among dozens of other issues. All proceeds for The 5k to Outrun Climate Change will be donated to PennEnvironment, who is working to reverse climate change. They are trying to eliminate fossil fuels, preserve forests, and reduce power plant pollution in efforts to restore the cleanliness of the planet. Be a part of the solution and stop pollution!
