40th Annual Run for Clean Air presented by Toyota Hybrids
2021-04-17 07:30 - 2021-04-25 23:59 | PA
2021 is a huge landmark for the Run for Clean Air presented by Toyota Hybrids, commemorating the 40th anniversary of the race. The Run for Clean Air is one of the region’s longest-running charity races and its largest Earth Day event. The Run is a celebration of sustainable and healthy neighborhoods, clean air, and improvements in the region’s overall environmental health. Year after year, sponsors, volunteers, runners, walkers and families choose to celebrate Earth Day with Clean Air Council.
For a second year, the Run for Clean Air presented by Toyota Hybrids will be a virtual race, giving runners the freedom and flexibility to run their race when and where they like. Runners are encouraged to run their virtual race and submit their times on Saturday, April 17th to participate in the live raceday result broadcast on our Facebook page. But of course, you are welcome to run any time during Earth Week, from April 17th through the 25th.
All virtual runners and walkers will receive a race shirt and finisher medal.

Renewable Natural Gas - Clean Air Council & Energy Co-Op FREE Webinar
2020-04-27 17:30 - 18:30 | Online
For those concerned about drilling and fracking to supply their home’s natural gas, Clean Air Council and The Energy Co-op are joining forces to present a workshop on an alternative – Renewable Natural Gas (RNG)!
RNG is biogas, a compound of methane and carbon dioxide, that comes naturally from the decomposition of organic waste, like landfills and other waste management facilities. It’s often flared, reducing it to C02 and wasting the energy content of its methane component, however, it can also be like conventional natural gas – without any drilling or fracking.
Join us in this FREE webinar to learn about the problems with drilling and fracking, the benefits of RNG, and what you can do to get involved!

VIRTUAL Run for Clean Air presented by Toyota Hybrids
2020-04-18 - 2020-04-26 | PA
Since 1981, Clean Air Council has held the Run for Clean Air in Philadelphia to celebrate Earth Day. 11 years earlier, Clean Air Council hosted the Philadelphia event for the first ever Earth Day in 1970. Over the years, the Run for Clean Air is one of the region’s longest-running charity races and its largest Earth Day event.
We’re proud to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Earth Day this year at the Run for Clean Air presented by Toyota Hybrids as a virtual race.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
(1) Register for the race online (just choose the Virtual 5K, 10K or 3K walk).
(2) Prepare for the race by training for your race and post to social media because if people don’t know about your Run for Clean Air training runs, did they even happen?
(3) Now it’s time to Run for Clean Air! Fire up your favorite running app and hit the street, trail, track, or treadmill. We HIGHLY encourage our runners to run their race during Earth Week, from April 18th to the 26th.
(4) Submit your time through the Run for Clean Air RunSignUp page between April 18th and May 1st.
(5) Get your medal and shirt! We hope that by early May we can set up a pickup day at the Clean Air Council office or we can mail them right to you!
***Don’t forget to tell friends and family about the region’s biggest Earth Day Race. Post before, during, and after your virtual race to spread the word and make the biggest impact this Earth Day.
