Recycling

All year round we’re working hard to make our events as sustainable and environmentally friendly as possible. From reducing and recycling single-use plastics, to working with local charities to collect clothing left at our start lines, to making sure our event branding and stock is reused or responsibly recycled - there’s a lot happening behind the scenes to lower our environmental impact.

But to make an even bigger difference, we need your help!

Here are a few simple ways you can help make our events greener:

We ask that you please use the recycling bins on site to discard any waste accordingly.

As part of our sustainability drive, there will be no bottled water at the start area. Please arrive hydrated, or bring your own supply, which you may carry with you while you run.

Water refill points will be located at the start and at the finish (check the maps for more details).

After each water station, look out for the bottle collection points. DRINK, THROW & GO GO GO! Draining any leftover water before you bin your bottle helps us recycle more bottles. If you opt to bring your own standard, single-use plastic water bottle, please make sure you throw it in the clearly marked recycling bins that will be available in the start and finish area.

Together, small changes can make a big impact.
