are particularly high in events which attract international participants, such as the Great North Run, or in more remote locations, such as the Lake District, where access is largely via cars. For context, it can be helpful to exclude participant travel to allow for greater focus on the other direct and indirect emissions at our events. We will therefore compare the contributions of each category to the overall footprint both including and excluding participant travel.
