Richard’s Run for Giant Salamanders
On June 15th, Sustainable Daisen’s founder and CEO Richard Pearce will be running a 50km (33 mile) ultra-marathon across the rugged terrain of the Oki Islands, Shimane Prefecture — a landscape shaped by ancient volcanic forces, full of brutal ups and downs. The course has a time limit of 8 hours. Whatever it takes, his mission is to drag himself over the finishing line within this limit
Why? Because the Japanese Giant Salamander needs our help.
This run is more than a physical challenge. It’s my way of showing just how serious we are about protecting this iconic and endangered species.
