Adidas - Run for the Oceans

Every year, about 8 million tons of plastic waste end up in the ocean. Or to put it another way: every minute, a complete garbage truck is dumped into the ocean! The gloomy forecast: By 2050, there will be more plastic than fish in the world''s oceans.

What sounds unbelievable at first is unfortunately a terrible reality. Pollution of the oceans is a massive problem that affects our entire planet, nature and last but not least our own health.

"I'm running to help protect my home. And together we can make that possible" - Shaunae Miller-Uibo, Olympic 400m Champion and Adidas Athlete

Adidas wants to set an example, draw attention to pollution and do good - Together with you! From May 23rd to June 8th, you will do good with every run. It will not only help you stay fit and healthy, but it will also help create a cleaner environment.

For every 10 minutes of running (which can be running or another running-based sport like tennis or soccer), ADIDAS and Parley will collect the weight of one plastic bottle of trash - up to 250,000 kilos of plastic waste.
