WWF-UK Becomes Official Charity Partner of Blue Mile Race for the Environment

11 March 2010--Sport Environment, the organiser of The Blue Mile – Race for the Environment, today announce an exciting new partnership with the conservation organisation WWF-UK. The announcement by Sport Environment was made together with WWF and round the world sailor, Conrad Humphreys who is founder of the Blue Climate and Oceans Project.

The Blue Mile – Race for the Environment is the UK’s newest mass-participation event designed to engage people actively with our blue environment. The event, which is open to everyone to take part, aims to increase participation in our natural environment and provide a learning experience to help encourage more people to take steps to care for the health of our planet.

Today’s announcement will mean that WWF will become the Official Charity Partner of The Blue Mile – Race for the Environment and will be working with Sport Environment to raise awareness of the threats facing our world’s oceans and the need to protect our seas.

Conrad Humphreys, founder of the Blue Mile said, “It is often said that sport is intimately connected to nature and for some athletes it is the relationship with the environment that inspires and motivates them. One of the key aims of the Blue Mile is to encourage an active community who can respond and find ways to contribute to the health of our planet. Our relationship with WWF will provide opportunities for everyone to form stronger links with our marine and natural environment.”
