Throughout the years, many changes have taken place to move the event towards a more environmentally sustainable future.

Signs & Printing: Each year fewer entry forms, posters and other printed materials are produced - when they are, more print media has utilized vegetable based inks and recyclable paper.

Race Bags: The distribution of event information online has largely replaced printed materials.  E-newsletters and social media have greatly assisted in this process.

On-Site Waste Management: The introduction of recycling receptacles in 2007 has had a profound impact on the low carbon foot-print of the event.

Event Shirts: Each year, excess event shirts are donated to worldwide organizations and eliminating potential waste.

Gear Check: Gear check bags at the event are re-usable for a multitude of purposes after the event. 

Timing Chips: Here's a big one - Each year, between 8,000 and 10,000 timing chips are recycled and re-used by the event.
