Running Out of Time is a relay event used to promote discussion about climate change.[1][2][3][4][5] It was the longest non-stop relay ever attempted with runners, cyclists and sailors working together to pass a baton hand-to-hand from COP26 in Glasgow to COP27 in Sharm El Sheikh.[6] The baton moved non-stop through 18 countries: UK, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Albania, Greece, Cyprus, Israel and Egypt.[7] The journey of 7,767 kilometres (4,826 mi) took forty days.[8]
