We're team Running On Plants, and we're fundraising for Viva! as we believe compassion and kindness should be at the heart of what we do.

We love running, and we love animals, and we're running the 50K Bath Ultra Challenge together to raise awareness of how running on plants can really help both animals and our planet.

Our team includes 87-year-old Paul Youd, and this challenge is really to support Paul - with Kate Dunbar, Tom Pickering, Laura Briggs, Chris O'Grady, Daniel Fleming and James Shipway. We're all vegan activists and runners, and we hope you'll come on board and follow our journey.

Along the way we'll be documented by filmmaker Martin of Kelp and Fern, and we'll post training updates on our Running On Plants Instagram and Facebook pages.
