More Running Less Footprint – Sustainability Center

We work to become a carbon neutral event each year. The More Running Less Footprint center provides recycling for aluminum, paper and plastic. There is also a Terracycle bin for nutrional wrappers, chip bags, and gel packets. You can also bring in your used running shoes for recycling. Each pair donated displaces 30 pounds of CO2.
