🌲What is the Run for Forest?
The Run for Forest is a sponsored run supporting forest restoration and climate action in the Ursern Valley. Following its successful launch in summer 2025, the event is returning for a second edition. Children, teenagers, and adults run laps for a good cause. For every lap completed, sponsors, such as parents, friends, godparents, or local businesses, donate a freely chosen amount. This turns every lap into a direct contribution to reforestation and a sustainable future for the valley.
The fundraising platform fundoo supports the Run for Forest digitally, making participation and fundraising simple and accessible. After registering as a runner, each participant receives their own personal fundraising page with a unique QR code. This can be shared directly with family, friends, or businesses to attract sponsors. Supporters can choose to donate a specific amount per lap completed or make a one-time contribution. It is also possible to support the event directly without sponsoring a specific participant.
