Run for a sustainable life

Sustainability: four commitments


Sustainability is the theme of Edition II — and these are the commitments behind it.

01

One runner, one plant

A plant for every runner who takes part.

02

It carries your name

Each plant is tagged with the name of the runner it belongs to.

03

Zero-waste event

Run as a zero-waste event, from the start line to the finish.

04

100% recycle

A full-recycling approach to the materials used across the event.

Runners can help too: travel together, bring a reusable bottle, skip single-use plastic, and hold on to your waste until you find a bin.
