We won’t be perfect, but we’re doing our best to make some small tweaks to the Boscombe 10k to reduce the environmental impact and make it more sustainable.
Here’s some of what we’re doing…
💚 Local and more sustainable options for our race medals.
💚 On the day number collection, less postage, packaging and less waste.
💚 Encouraging runners to carry their own water, and to use the water refill point in the stadium.
💚Requesting no litter is dropped on route, encouraging runners to use bins, bin liners out on course, or if all else fails, carrying until such is available
💚Cups, not bottles available on the course and at the end. If the cups are plastic, they are old stock from previous years we are trying to use up, new cups are biodegradable.
💚Reusing signage and marshal bibs from previous years. We realise neither are particularly environmentally friendly but we’re achieving 2 of the 3 r’s…reduce and reuse.
💚 Donating left over medals from previous races (along with old kit from club
members) to Preloved Sports CIC. The metal is sent to be recycled. The ribbons will be repurposed. ♻️
