The oceans are at risk: marine plastic pollution is one of the biggest environmental issues in the world today. In fact, more than 150 million tons of plastic exist in the oceans today.
Join us at team Sleekgeek to support our friends at adidas and do out bit to help out and make a change.
June is World Ocean’s Month and for every kilometre that you run, walk, skip or jog between June 8 and June 16, 2019 adidas will donate $1 to the Parley Ocean School (capped at 1.5 million US dollars).
And at the end of the campaign, as a token of our appreciation for racking up those kilometres we will randomly draw 3 people (who have run/walked a minimum of 5km) from our Sleekgeek Leaderboard and reward them with the following:
1st: R1000
2nd: Entry to the 8 Week Transformation Challenge plus a Sleekgeek T/Vest, Cap and gym towel.
3rd: Entry to the 8 Week Transformation Challenge plus a Sleekgeek T/Vest, Cap and gym towel.
Last year we had 150 Sleeks contribute and managed to raise a total of R81 386 – we cannot wait to see what we can do this year!
