As race organisers, we are committed to improving our sustainability and minimising the impact of our events on the environment. Help us on event day by considering the responsibilities of us all below:
Consider sustainable travel
Why not walk, cycle, take public transport or consider lift sharing to the event?
Take your litter home
Please help us leave Cardiff Bay how we found it!
Help us recycle on the course and at the finish line
Recycling bins are located some distance after each on-course energy station. If you can, please aim your discarded bottle or gel wrapper for the bins. At the finish line, look out for our Environmental Champions who will be on hand to direct you to your nearest.
Avoid contamination
Plastic bottles are 100% recyclable, but only if they are not contaminated with any other waste such as banana skins or food waste. Take care when recycling them!
Moving on from goody bags
Run 4 Wales have now removed goody bags from all Run 4 Wales events in their attempt to minimise waste.
SUSTAINABILITY PARTNERS
We work with a number of our sponsors and partners, including Brecon Carreg to improve the sustainability of our events through a ‘Climate Action Group’. The group works on projects designed to minimise the environmental impact of our events and promote recycling and green initiatives.
Partners also make direct financial contributions to our ‘Climate Action Fund’ – which exclusively supports sustainable development projects and green initiatives such as tree planting, community projects that tackle climate change, renewable energy start-ups, campaigns against pollution in our oceans and natural habitats and securing the rights of indigenous peoples threatened with extinction.
