We are proud to continue and improve upon the GREEN focused initiatives we have implemented at our event. Some of the activities we have planned this year include:

Asking registrants to REGISTER ONLINE.

Sourcing an ORGANIC COTTON SHIRT as our participant shirt.

Printing our event brochure and posters on RECYCLED PAPER.

Asking that our event participants to WALK, BIKE, CARPOOL OR BUS to the event.

Sourcing the beer for our beer garden from the sustainably focused Fremont Brewing Company. Be sure to visit their Urban Beer Garden for one of our pre-race Thursday night training runs.

Asking all beer garden attendees to REUSE and recycle their cup.

Revising the rules of our briefcase relay event so that participants carry CANS OF FOOD in their briefcases (all food to be donated to FamilyWorks at the race end).

Having a secure onsite BICYCLE VALET area sponsored by the Spoke & Food event.

Sourcing ORGANIC FRUIT for the fruit we give away onsite.

Having PLASTIC & GLASS RECYCLING bins onsite and RECYCLING all the paper, cardboard, plastic & glass created via the event.

Giving away relevant USABLE GIFTS as our age category awards (rather than trophies or plaques).

Thanks to PCC Natural Markets and EcoMetro, the first 300 people (60 teams) who register for the Briefcase Relay will each receive a CHINOOK BOOK full of eco-minded coupons. 

If your organization would like to support any of the above initiatives, or if you have any additional ideas on other things we can do, please contact us today. Thank you!
