About this run
Racing for Sustainability. It’s our name and it’s what we’re doing. Join us - become a Racing for Sustainability Champion! Have you ever: Stepped on discarded cups during a race? Gotten an empty gel packet stuck on your shoe? Been handed a plastic bottle of water as you cross the finish line? Tossed that bottle into a trash can, along with your banana peel and chip bag? Shoved your race t-shirt in a drawer when you got home, never to be worn? Those are just the most obvious examples of a race’s environmental impact; there’s a lot more going on behind the scenes. From local 5Ks to major marathons, the running industry generates a significant environmental footprint. Racing for Sustainability is working to change that. We’re dedicated to promoting eco-friendly practices in the running community and helping races reduce their environmental impact. By becoming a Racing for Sustainability Champion, you’ll help us in two ways: Raising funds so we can provide more races with the resources to put on sustainable events. Raising awareness so more people - runners and non-runners! - will practice sustainability in their own lives.
