Lee’s next project, as far as we know, is the New York City Marathon on November 6th, 2016. Lee is running to raise money for a charity, #keepkenyawild, as a member of a 12-strong team.
This is Lee’s first marathon!
If you are planning to go to NYC to cheer on the runners, there are a few important considerations you should be aware of. Read all about those here.
If you want to watch the event and/or to support Lee and the #keepkenyawild team running for their cause, but can’t be there in person, don’t despair, there are a few options available to you! You can:
DONATE TO THE FUNDRAISER
Every little bit helps to #keepkenyawild. This is Lee’s chosen charity in this, his first marathon. He has been to Kenya with Conservation International, as we learnt back in March when the Mountain Is Speaking film was released. This is what he had to say about his trip, for Mashable:
“It was not only a stunning place, but the people working there [were] solving conservation issues by their involvement in the communities,” Pace says.
“These guys have their ears to the ground and know everything that happens in the Bush. They’re aware of when an elephant is poached, and there’s just an intelligence network in place that can monitor it,” he says.
“It was a really enjoyable trip, but I learned so much about the hard work people are doing in conservation,” Pace says.
You can help make Lee’s and his team mates’ step lighter by donating a small sum! Read more here, and donate on Crowdrise here.
This is the team of 12 runners as listed on the #keepkenyawild page.
FOLLOW THE PROGRESS OF THE RUNNERS
The NYC Marathon allows you to track up to 20 runners’ progress on a map. All you need to find the runner is his/her name. You can do the tracking on the marathon website or you can download the TCSNYC Marathon app at Apple and Android Stores. Read more here.
WATCH LIVE ON TV AND STREAMING
If you’re in the US, you can watch the live broadcast locally on ABC, nationwide on ESPN, or stream it online on WatchESPN.
If you’re not in the US, you can use the ESPN Player app, where you can purchase a 24h access package, for example. According to the TCSNYC Marathon app, there may be other, country-specific options to view the live event.
