Across all our events and operations, we are taking action to reduce and eliminate greenhouse gas-emitting activities while paying close attention to monitoring our carbon footprint. We want to inspire you and others to do the same.

International participant travel accounts for more than 85 per cent of our carbon footprint and while we want to encourage the global community of marathon runners, we also want to protect our natural environment.
