Air Currents 2024

IN 2012, JARED CAMPBELL DECIDED TO RUN UP AND DOWN SALT LAKE CITY’S GRANDEUR PEAK FOR 24 HOURS TO RAISE MONEY FOR AIR QUALITY ADVOCACY WORK.

The following year, a few friends joined in. The next year: even more.

After 11 years, Campbell’s solo project has morphed into Running Up For Air: a worldwide movement with dozens of races, hundreds of runners and tens of thousands of dollars raised around the globe. Patagonia produced a short film about Campbell’s story which features Atmos’s John Lin talking about the science behind air challenges in the basins along the Wasatch Front. Since its debut April 10 on YouTube, the film has accumulated over 356,500 views. Use the QR code here to watch how trail running builds community that can jump-start change far beyond the trails.
