Melbourne 14-19°C
Cloudy. Possible showers
28 days, 6000 km, 30 events and around 1 million blisters later, we’re finishing up the first ever Run for a Safe Climate by the foreshore of St Kilda. It’s been an amazing foot journey across Australia, we can’t believe it’s almost over! We’ve seen some pretty amazing things over the past few weeks that have changed our minds completely about climate change and the damage it’s doing to our country. But more importantly, we’ve seen local communities and local industries take the lead with effective solutions for many of the problems we’re encountering. We’re more determined than ever that our Safe Climate Transition Plan will be effective in leading Australia and the world into a future with a safe climate.
As we run into Melbourne, we’ll be marshalling locals at Portobello Café at the intersection of Kerferd Road and Beaconsfield Parade to run along the parade to the St Kilda Foreshore to our finish line and the end of the 6021km journey.
We have been missing friends and family so much but it’s been a great month! If you’re around St Kilda on Sunday come down to enjoy the free music and entertainment. Jason Kimberley from Cool Australia will be speaking to children of all ages about what is happening with our environment through engaging activities! We’d also love for you, your family, friends, relatives, and work colleagues, to be among the 2,000 people needed to form the human sign at 2pm in St Kilda. Perhaps appropriately, the runners asked for the human sign to say . . . 000 CLIMATE EMERGENCY.
We look forward to sharing some words, a snag or two and some well-deserved drinks with you so come on down.
Happy Running!
