Sustainablity
Keeping King's Lynn green
Recycling bins will be provided on course at each water station - we ask that you please use this to do help us do our bit for the environment. If you want to hold on to your water beyond the provided bins, please pass any litter to your nearest marshal when finished.
We are in partnership with JogOn to help reduce the environmental impact that large running events can have. By working with JogOn, we help to reduce the waste of running shoes that end up in landfill every year by giving them a new life. Trainers are either reused by giving them to those in need, or shredded and their remains used for other purposes. Drop off stations will be made readily available throughout the Event Village for you to drop off any old or unwanted trainers so they can be given a new lease of life.
We encourage our participants to travel sustainably where possible by taking public transport or car sharing to reduce traffic emissions.
Give your trainers a new ‘lace of life’ with JogOn
Part ways with unwanted old trainers that you may have previously thrown out. Drop-off stations will be made readily available next to the Race Office, located in the Event Village on event day.
