Sustainability Matters at CaliFlow Runs 🌍💧
 
We care deeply about our footprint on this earth and are taking steps to reduce single-use plastic at our events. Here’s how we’re making a difference:
🚰 No Single-Use Plastic: We no longer provide single-use plastic bottles at our races. Instead, we will have water in cups at the finish line and water stations for you to hydrate and refill as needed. 
 
🌟 Bring Your Reusable Bottle: Help us go green by bringing your own refillable bottle to stay hydrated during the event and for the ride home.
By working together, we can keep the earth as beautiful as the trails and beaches we love to run on. Thank you for being part of this movement towards a healthier planet! 🌱
