Reporting Period and Entities Covered This report details the carbon and environmental performance for the period of 1st January 2025 to 31st December 2025. The boundary includes all UK-based mass participation events under the GRC umbrella, alongside the permanent operations of the Newcastle Head Office and the warehouse facility. Climate Resilience & Adaptation Beyond reducing our footprint (mitigation), GRC is actively adapting to a changing climate. Rising average temperatures pose an increased welfare risk to participants, staff, and spectators. We are investing in heat-stress mitigation strategies, including, modified start times, increased misting stations on course, and rapid cooling capabilities by our Medic teams, underpinned by pro active pre event communications. Additionally, we also take into consideration resilient infrastructure capable of withstanding severe storms, ensuring our events remain safe and viable in a warming world.
