Welcome to Welcome to ACT Run for the Rainforest 5K

ACT is proud to announce its 2nd Annual Run for the Rainforest 5K run/walk to benefit the conservation of the Amazon rainforest, and the prevention of global climate change.

Last years race exceeded everyone’s expectations, and with 383 official finishers and 439 registrants—almost unheard of for an inaugural race. We raised over $30,000 in support of rainforest conservation and promoted local eco-friendly businesses that partnered with us and the ACT mission – ALL WITH YOUR HELP!

We invite you once again to come out and support our efforts while having a great time!

YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE NOW!

With this years race ACT focuses on the educational opportunities for the indigenous children in the small rainforest village of Tepu, Suriname.

Please help by donating two of the following school supply items on race day:

• Pencils
• Erasers
• Pencil Pouch

• Composition Notebooks
• Crayons (small box
• Pencil Sharpeners

As the next generation to care for the rainforest; their education impacts our future.
