Do you want to start making your race sustainable or make it even more eco-friendly than it already is?
Do you want runners to know that you care about the planet?
We have the tools and resources you need.
Tina Muir is the Sustainability Director for the 2025 World Athletics Road Running Championships and works with world major races on their sustainability initiatives.
She regularly hears one concern from race organizers: I want my race to be sustainable but I don’t have the time or resources to focus on it.
That’s why she created Racing for Sustainability, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that serves small to medium races by breaking down the barriers to putting on an eco-conscious event.
We have done the work for you, so you can easily reduce your environmental impact through simple actions.
Then you can show that you’re doing your part by proudly displaying your Racing For Sustainability digital badge and joining our network of environmentally conscious races.
Racing for Sustainability envisions a world where sustainability is as integral to a race as the start and finish lines.
Let’s get started.
