Where to Join Up - New York to Boston

Meet the runners, hear the message, and pass it on.
Exchange point lists:
NYC to Boston | Ireland & England | France | Belgium & Netherlands | Germany

About every ten miles of our 15,200 mile journey, both the baton and our vital message about drinking water will be 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 15,200 mile journey. Frankly, we need messengers more than runners. But if you can't stand still knowing about the water issue, please try to join us in these great, safe locations free from traffic.(See right)
