2022 UN Day Race
Run, bike, or walk with us — as we celebrate the 77th anniversary of the United Nations (October 24th is UN Day) and recognize its tireless efforts to create a world in which everyone thrives in peace, dignity, and equality on a healthy planet. This year’s theme will be Climate Change.
The event is virtual, which means you may complete it at any time between October 16th and October 29th, anywhere in the world. You can choose between two distances: 5K and 10K.
Don’t forget to share a photo of yourself on social media completing the race, using the hashtags #UNDay, #USAforUN, and #UNDayRace!
A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the community-based organization WE ACT For Environmental Justice. To read about their work, click here. The event is sponsored by the United Nations Association of New York and the remaining proceeds will go towards supporting our work and mission.
