Orangutan Appeal UK – Run for their lives!
Run for charity - Orangutan Appeal
Join the race to save this endangered species. We have guaranteed places in the Kilomathon, Scottish Half Marathon & Great South Run. Whatever your ability you can make a difference.
You may already be aware that orangutans
are endangered. Estimates show as few as 30,000 to be left in the wild, which
would only fill half of the seats at Manchester United’s football stadium! The
orangutan’s rainforest home is fast disappearing, under threat from logging and
agriculture. Saving the forest is so important; so too is the rehabilitation of
the animals themselves and their reintroduction into the wild.
Orangutan Appeal UK is dedicated to the
conservation of this ape, and its rainforest habitat. We work across Borneo,
funding projects at the world-renowned Sepilok rehabilitation centre and
wherever orangutans need our help.
English
and Scottish Kilomathons
The English and Scottish Kilomathons are
new events, and cover a new distance: 26.2km or just over 16 miles. This is between
the half and full marathon, ideal for race training or simply as a new
challenge to take part in.
The Scottish Half Marathon is on the 23rd
May and starts in Edinburgh city centre, finishing at Musselburgh Racecourse.
We also have places in the famous Great
South Run, which probably needs no introduction.
Our supporters also run for us in all sorts
of events across the UK and around the world. If you want to enter a different
race, just get in touch and tell us.
We will send all runners a fund-raising
pack, which includes sponsorship forms, an Appeal badge, recent newsletters and
a T-shirt order form.
Whichever race you decide to enter on
behalf of the orangutans of Borneo, you can be assured that they will benefit
directly.
