Sustainability Framework
In 2017 the Lake District was recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage site; this designation specifically covers the 13 Valleys that make up the Lake District National Park. We’re donating 5% of every entry fee to the Lake District Foundation, the charity working to protect this magnificent part of the planet. The Lake District Foundation supports the sustainable future of Cumbria and the National Park through low carbon initiatives, fixing the fells, planting hedgerows and much more.
We are trying our best to make this event as sustainable as possible. Here are a few things we are doing:
• Using local staff and suppliers where possible, to reduce travel and support local communities.
• Ensure all signs used on the event are re-usable, with no single use signs. Wayfinding signs will include a phone number so we can be made aware of any missed and return to collect them.
• Our feed stations will provide veggie and vegan alternatives.
• Limit unwanted race souvenirs, with no race tees and local medals made from local sustainable materials.
