Run for Flamingos - Virtual Edition

Run for Flamingos Virtual Edition – Save Mangroves, Save Wetlands

We are excited to announce the first virtual edition of the most loved run in India. Run for Flamingos Season 1 and Season 2 were ranked 1st in all the 10K runs around Maharashtra and 3rd All over India in the MRR(Mumbai Road Runners) survey.

YOU RUN WE PRESERVE!
We will be contributing ₹5/km covered by participants towards wetland and mangrove preservation. The more you run the more flamingos come home.

This run is being organized to create awareness and educating people about importance of mangroves, wetlands and flamingos on World Migratory Bird Day.

This year the theme of World Migratory Bird Day is “Birds Connect Our World” and is chosen to highlight the importance of conserving and restoring the ecological connectivity and integrity of ecosystems that support the natural cycles that are essential for the survival and well-being of migratory birds like our beloved Flamingos.

New WWF living planet report shows 75% of Earth’s ice-free land surface has been significantly altered and 85% of wetlands lost!

Migratory Birds need a network of well-functioning breeding, stop-over and wintering sites to reproduce, refuel and survive.
