COURSE DESCRIPTION
For this year’s adidas Move for the Planet, the course is essentially the same as last year, with a small change in the first kilometer. This is to ensure that the runners have the best possible experience on the track and can recharge in the best way for the adidas Stockholm Marathon the next day. As in previous years, the start is at Östermalms IP, and the finish, as always, takes place at Stockholms Stadion.
CONCEPT
Run 5km and make a difference. For every person finishing the adidas Move for the Planet race on May 31, 2024, adidas will donate 50kr to projects that provide education on sustainability and make sports facilities more resilient against extreme weather conditions – up to 50.000 kr.
Now, what is Move for the Planet?
Move for the Planet is a global adidas activation and born from the belief that collective movement creates collective impact. This year, adidas is partnering with Common Goal and United Nations for Climate Change to fund projects in areas impacted by heat waves, flooding, and other extreme weather conditions around the world.
Sounds exciting? If you want to support the global Move for the Planet activation already pre race- day this is how:
For every 10 minutes of movement you log on the adidas Running app between May 10-22, adidas will donate €1 to impact projects mentioned above – up to €1.5m. Every sport on the adidas Running app is eligible, so sign up and move for the planet. One more ride, hill or corner kick can make an impact.
