Do you love running? Are you ready to begin running sustainably? Or maybe you’re a race director who wants to make your event more eco-friendly. Wherever you are in your environmental journey, we have the resources you need.
Runners care deeply about their communities and the planet. Racing for Sustainability gives race directors the knowledge and resources to turn that passion into action, providing them with guidance to make their events more sustainable and the tools to do so easily and affordably.
Runners who want to protect our planet will find ways to approach running in a more sustainable way in Becoming a Sustainable Runner. Weaving together personal stories, research, and expert input, it’s a practical guide for runners of all abilities and backgrounds who want to take meaningful action through their love of the sport.
Becoming a Sustainable Runner makes a compelling case not just for the “how” of environmental stewardship, but the “why,” so that every athlete can connect their love of running to the landscapes that nourish that love.
Traveling expands our horizons. Lining up on the start line of a race connects us with our fellow runners. But destination races – or traveling in general – comes at a cost: its impact on the environment. You’ll find suggestions about transportation, accommodations, restaurants, shopping, and green spaces to visit in our Sustainable Runner’s Guides. Fun ways to enjoy your trip, while being kind to Mother Earth!
Most of us have had them. The days when the air is thick with smoke from wildfires thousands of miles away, or when the streets have turned into rivers from flooding, or when we can’t stop sweating because the humidity is so high. Those days aren’t going away, but these episodes of the Running for Real podcast examine what we can do to try to prevent them from becoming even more frequent.
There’s more to being a sustainable runner than taking care of the environment – we also need to take care of ourselves. When we don’t, the outcome can be RED-S (Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport). Whether you’re wondering if you’re suffering from RED-S, or seeking help while you recover, these videos will answer your questions.
