Join The Relay’s Global Stage
Saturday 5th November marks the eve of the UN Climate Conference COP27, and at 10am local time in every time zone around the world, thousands of people will stand up for climate action by joining in the Global Stage of the Running Out of Time climate relay.
Over the past month a relay baton has travelled from Glasgow, Scotland over thousands of miles and more than 700 stages towards the COP27 host city of Sharm El-Sheikh containing a message on quality universal climate education from young people to world leaders at the COP27 conference.
The Global Stage is an opportunity for people living all over the world to join in and to run, walk, cycle or move for 27 minutes at 10.00 am local time on 5th November - on their own or with friends and family. Then post those pics & selfies - #RunningOutofTime - to showcase our unity to the world.
By all of us joining one global event we want to show the world we can work together to combat climate change – and call on the world’s leaders to do the same.

What Is Running Out of Time?
Running Out of Time is a record-breaking 7,767 km non-stop relay from Glasgow (COP26 host) to Sharm el-Sheikh (COP27 host) in the name of climate action.
Launched on September 30th the relay comprises 700+ stages and travels through 18 countries before arriving at Sharm el-Sheikh on November 8th for the start of COP 27. Powered exclusively by humans, the sun and the wind, the relay unites runners, cyclists and sailors in an extraordinary, epic adventure.
Once the baton arrives at Sharm El-Sheikh it will take centre stage at the UNESCO pavilion at COP27 and play a starring role in the Ministerial session on climate change and education.
The Message in the Baton
Inside the baton is a message on climate action - calling for universal quality climate education - from the young people of today to the world’s leaders at COP 27.
