Why should I join Racing for Sustainability?

That’s a fair question! We make it easy (well, easier, we know there’s nothing truly easy about your job!) for you to put on a race that benefits the planet and your community. 

You’ve probably read articles about ways to make your race more sustainable. They may have valuable suggestions, but being told what to do and knowing how to do it - and being in a position to actually do it - are very different things. We tell you exactly the steps to follow and give you the tools you need in order to follow through.

That begins with the Racing for Sustainability Tool Kit. Designed for small to medium races, it breaks down the barriers to putting on an eco-conscious event.

It includes downloadable guides to send to your runners and volunteers, sample text for your website, graphics for social media, and email templates to use for information campaigns and to reach out to suppliers and members of the community. Using these resources will enable you to reduce your environmental impact with minimal outlay of two things often in short supply - time and money.

Publishing over 75 pages on paper is not particularly “green,” so the Racing for Sustainability Tool Kit is in PDF format - putting on a sustainable race starts right there!
