Kansas Route Exchange Points

Posted June 26th, 2007 by MarkSteele

Meet the runners, hear the message, and pass it on.

Every 10 miles of our 15,200 mile journey there is an exchange point where both the baton and our vital message about drinking water are passed on. At these exchange points, the Blue Planet Run crew will be set up to answer questions, explain the water issue and encourage the public to become messangers. These exchange points are the best place to interact with the Blue Planet Run runners. Please search the list for the location nearest you.

If you want to join in the excitement or show support by running along with us, please keep in mind safety and security are our utmost concerns for this 95-day trip around the world. Frankly, we need messengers more than runners. But if you can't stand still knowing about the water issue, please try to find a safe locations free from traffic.
