Sustainability
With sustainability top of the agenda for race day, the Royal Parks Foundation is doing everything it can to help reduce the impact of the Half Marathon on the environment:
- The winning trophy has been created by master craftsman, Mark Wilkinson, from an Oak Burr found in Richmond Park
- Wood is used for the leaf shaped finisher’s medal that everyone receives - it's your 'piece of the parks'
- Approximately 50,000 plastic bottles around the course will be recycled by Marks & Spencer
- Royal Parks Foundation Half Marathon race shirts are made from bamboo and recycled polyester
- All discarded running clothes along the route are collected and donated to Oxfam
- All participants receive Fairtrade bananas to replenish energy levels after the race
- Surplus food will be collected and redistributed to those in need by Fare Share
Claire ran for @Tommys_baby, perfect for shifting extra baby weight and getting a bit of time-out from being a new mum! http://t.co/mhRS2Vbc
