- Pictured above is Victoria Hatch, who ran stages 300, 302 and 303 on the Running Out of Time event, with the all-electric Nissan Ariya support team vehicle sponsored by DriveElectric.
ELECTRIC broker specialist DriveElectric supported the recent Running Out of Time 2023.
The event, which started on 10 June 2023, saw over 5000 people run, walk, wheel, swim, paddle, cycle, sky, surf and hike 1650 miles from Ben Nevis to Big Ben, passing a baton mile after mile, day after day, for 32 days .
For the finale, hundreds of relay runners, walkers and wheelers arrived at Big Ben to send a message to government at precisely 20:30 on 11 July to draw attention to the 2030 Net Zero targets – and time is running out to achieve these ambitions.
DriveElectric was the official electric vehicle sponsor for Running Out of Time 2023, supporting the event with an all-electric Nissan Ariya. The Support Crew and the Ariya spent 32 consecutive days following the relay over 366 stages, making sure the relay kept moving.
The Ariya carried out all sorts of back-up duties for the event, from carrying bikes to transporting ultra-runners to their start lines, covering 1,650 miles in near-silence, and with zero tailpipe emissions.
Running Out of Time has succeeded in engaging with a huge variety of people and organisations over the last 32 days all around the UK, raising awareness that we all need to take accelerated action to achieve Net Zero. DriveElectric is delighted to have been able to support Running Out of Time, and we’ll continue to make the biggest impact we can by helping people make the move to electric vehicles and renewable energy.
