We’re starting a movement to #ProtectWhereWePlay
Ready to turn your workouts into waves of impact for our ocean? 🌊 🏃🏆
The 2026 @EcoAthletesTeam Collegiate Cup Powered by #ProtectWhereWePlay is officially HERE! This is your big chance to turn your workouts into funding for @OceanConservancy`s International Coastal Cleanup (ICC). 🚮
Here’s how it works 👇
📲 Log your workouts in the @Climategames.hq app March 9 - April 22 (Earth Day!)
🏆 Join one of 49 participating school teams (no affiliation required!)
🌎 The more your team exercises, the more you help fund the removal of plastic pollution and marine debris from beaches and waterways around the world
Since 1986, @OceanConservancy`s ICC has mobilized more than 19 million volunteers to remove over 400 million pounds of trash from natural environments around the world. EcoAthletes` #CollegiateCup harnesses the power of movement and passion for the planet to help power this important work. And this year, we want YOU to be a part of it! 🌊
All you need is a mobile phone to join, so pick a team you love, recruit your friends and family and log your workouts—you can even sync your smart device to log your movement automatically! Every workout counts, and EcoAthletes will fund additional ICC cleanups in the name of the teams finishing in the top 3 places. They’ll do the same for the individual who exercises the most during the Collegiate Cup, named Most Valuable Cupper! 🏅
What are you waiting for? Let’s get moving and make waves of change for our ocean! 🌊
🌱Green Sports Alliance is excited to announce our partnership with oceanconservancy #ProtectWhereWePlay initiative! We’re joining forces to protect the places where we play, cheer, and celebrate - because without a healthy planet, there’s no stage, no stadium, and no finish line. 🌎💙
