The checklist

basic version.

Reuse & recycle

Gather used running shoes from participants to reuse for charity or send to recycle.

Carbon offsetting

Estimate the carbon footprint of your event (the average is 150kg of CO2 per day) and compensate the emissions in the Ecologi platform (reforestation & offsetting).

Raise awareness

Inform your audience about the SDGs you wish to highlight and organise an online session with athletes and experts about sports and sustainability.

Reduce traffic and emissions

Organise shuttle buses for participants from large parkings outside the city, in collaboration with local public transport authorities.

Plastic use

Remove any unnecessary plastic packaging from goodie bags and consider the use of paper wrapping, get reusable or recyclable running bibs and don’t send them via courrier to your runners, they will always be there to pick it up on race day!
