The 50 mile Race for the Rainforest was founded to raise awareness of the disastrous consequences of the destruction of the rainforests and to generate donations for organizations that are actively working to protect our remaining rainforests and their inhabitants.
For the forseeable future, however, we will have two beneficiaries, "Rainforest Relief", and also the home of the Race for the Rainforest, our honorary rainforest, the city of New Orleans. With 57 inches of annual rainfall, it's not that great a stretch, and the destruction and continuing aftermath from Hurricane Katrina overrides any technical nit-picking.
Clicking the "save the rainforest" button below will generate a sponsor-paid donation to "Rainforest Relief" and/or the "Sweet Home New Orleans" at no cost to you. Please Bookmark this site and return often as you are allowed to generate a donation once each day.
The 5th 50 mile Race For The Rainforest will be run on November 8th, 2009, in conjunction with the 11th Annual World Run Day. Please Sponsor the Race with a donation to Rainforest Relief or Sweet Home New Orleans.
