Our major partners for the race
Several eco-responsible actions are implemented during our race.
- 💚 No commercial plastic water bottles will be provided during the event. Each participant, companion, and spectator is encouraged to bring a reusable water bottle that they can fill at various locations on the event site. During the race, participants will have access to water in compostable or recyclable paper cups at the refreshment stations.
- 💚 Rather than using disposable sponges for cooling, we offer to "wet" buffs or recycled fabric pieces in ice water to put around runners' necks. It will also be possible to purchase reusable cooling towels.
