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. This is a story about how running builds a community that can jump-start change far beyond the trails.
gnarly bay was brought on to this project for post-production, where our Lead Editor, Jordan Ingram, stitched together a film that balanced crucial climate change information, with a narrative that inspired hope through the lens of grassroots activism.
