We’ve just finished reading Spine Race and Lakeland Trails Ultra winner Damian Hall’s excellent and informative book ‘We Can’t Run Away From This’ because we're looking at how we can continue making the events more sustainable. We're going to be sharing tips on how you can reduce your impact too. There are always things we can be doing better but we're not going to be perfect.
If all 25,000 people reading this newsletter made one small change, just think of the impact we could have. What can you do to make a big difference?
Perhaps you could choose our ‘BiodiversiTee’ option rather than pick up yet another race t-shirt? Even if you've already entered an event, you can still quickly make the swap now via our website.
It’s great to see that our friends at inov-8 are also pushing to be more sustainable, designing their footwear to be much more durable (it’s a myth that you need to change your shoes every 200-300 miles) and did you know, simple things like washing the mud off in cool water will help them last longer? Kudos if you do that after every run.
