Event Details

In 2012, Jared Campbell decided to run up and down Salt Lake City’s Grandeur Peak for 24 hours, to raise money for air-quality advocacy work. The following year, a few friends joined in. The next year: even more. After 11 years, Campbell’s solo project has morphed into Running Up For Air (RUFA): a worldwide movement with dozens of races, hundreds of runners and tens of thousands of dollars raised around the globe. This is a story about how running builds community that can jumpstart change far beyond the trails.  

Join us at Patagonia Pittsburgh on Thursday, May 30 at 7pm for a screening of Running Up For Air.  Light refreshments and beverages will be available for a donation.  

Group Against Smog and Pollution (GASP) will be joining us for the evening.  They will be talking about their project, Athletes United for Healthy Air and educating us on southwestern Pennsylvania’s air pollution, ways to minimize exposure while exercising, and how we can activate our voices for clean air.

Want to get involved with RUFA? Head to Strava to learn about the Running Up For Air: Clean Air Vert Challenge—a virtual event that harnesses a global running community in support of organizations working to improve air quality.
