Introducing the Running Out of Time climate relay, with its co-founder Jamie Hay.

Carbon Copy is hosting the official podcast for Running Out of Time 2024. In this special “warm up” episode, we meet Jamie Hay, co-founder of the climate relay, to learn more about this incredible event and what we can look forward to. 

Now in its third year, the relay is Britain’s biggest sporting celebration of climate action and nature. The first baton-carrier will set off from the foot of Ben Nevis on June 6, and the baton will then be transported, without the use of fossil fuels, through places in Scotland, England and Wales over 29 days before reaching the finish line at Big Ben on July 4. 

Carbon Copy, with our focus on local, collective climate and nature action, is proud to be a partner of the climate relay. We are excited for this special podcast series, which will allow us to showcase and bring to life the stories of people in communities all along the route, who are working together to make a difference. 

Listen to Running Out Of Time: The Warm Up, to get energised for the start line on 6 June! 

“What better way to engage people in what’s happening in our climate, what’s happening to our nature, than through the hobbies that they already love? So many of our sports take place outdoors, so many of our sports are going to be impacted by climate change, so it’s a perfect fit for us – using sport, and lots of different ways of moving the baton to traverse the country – it really connects the two.”
