The first part of the day is the 5km run around Battersea Park – with every runner getting an exclusive free T-shirt designed by acclaimed fashion designer, Markus Lupfer (whose work is normally to be found in Net-a-porter, Selfridges and boutiques).

The second part of the Tree-Athlon is a 100m barefoot run – we want to retain our world record status and better the existing run this year!

The third part is your chance to plant your very own tree.

It's a family fun day with fantastic activities, live music, food, nature arts and crafts, silly games and entertainment. It all goes on in the Tree-Athlon village, focused around a vintage solar-powered VW camper van.

The Tree-Athlon is your chance to have fun and make a difference, raising money to plant trees in cities where they are most needed.
