Event Description

Racing for Sustainability.
It’s our name and it’s what we’re doing.

Join us - become a Racing for Sustainability Champion!

Have you ever:  Stepped on discarded cups during a race?

                         Gotten an empty gel packet stuck on your shoe?

                          Been handed a plastic bottle of water as you cross the finish line?

                          Tossed that bottle into a trash can, along with your banana peel and chip bag?

                          Shoved your race t-shirt in a drawer when you got home, never to be worn?

Those are just the most obvious examples of a race’s environmental impact; there’s a lot more going on behind the scenes. 

From local 5Ks to major marathons, the running industry generates a significant environmental footprint.

Racing for Sustainability is working to change that. We’re dedicated to promoting eco-friendly practices in the running community and helping races reduce their environmental impact.

By becoming a Racing for Sustainability Champion, you’ll help us in two ways:

                                                                                               Raising funds

                                            so we can provide more races with the resources to put on sustainable events.

                                                                              Raising awareness

                                    so more people - runners and non-runners! - will practice sustainability in their own lives.

For a one-time $100 membership fee, you will receive:

• A branded Lululemon x Racing For Sustainability tank, made from 100% recycled materials
• Advice on sustainable running that you can use yourself and share with others
• A fundraising guide on how to hit your goals with ease
• A personal fundraising page on RunSignup
• The first 25 Champions to join will also receive a signed copy of Becoming a Sustainable Runner 

As a Racing for Sustainability Champion, we ask that you:

• Wear your RFS x Lululemon tank when you race (weather permitting, we understand that it may not be feasible year-round!)
• Share about being a Racing for Sustainability Champion on your social media when you join, with a link to your fundraising page (and of course, share as often as you'd like after that!)
• Use hashtags when posting photos of yourself in your RFS tank: #racingforsustainability, #rfschampion, #sustainablerunning

                                      Make your miles more meaningful by running as an RFS Champion!
