Here are the measures we took to stop wasting resources:
Liquids – instead of plastic cups – multi-use flask
Every runner will receive multi-use sillicon flask and we won’t be providing cups on the checkpoints.
Start package – instead of PVC bags multi-use cotton bag
Every runner will get a bag from National Geographic, that can be used for travel or other races.
Race markings – instead of PVC tape -> multi-use aluminium + vinyl flags
Instead of the well-known nylon tape, we’ll use temporary chalk spray and specially-produced multi-use flags.
Checkpoint food – instead of individual packaging -> products in bulk boxes
We’ve conntected to producers that will supply food and drink in the biggest boxes possible, thus avoiding single-use small packages.
Event branding – recycle
All branding materials will be reduced and the ones used – recycled. In this case – we produced a bag for carrying event materials.
Water – no separate bottles
On the checkpoints there will be water from local sources or the biggest containers
Medals – no individual packages
We require from our suppliers all medals to be without individual packaging, to avoid more plastic.
