Ways we go green:

    1. We have a zero-waste mentality. We use reusable water containers (bluewave BPA free) and paper cups for water, we recycle all paper, donate left over food to local food banks, as well as compost the food scraps. 
    2. Through our Earth Day events we have physically planted as well as given out over 10,000 trees and counting. We have also supported other non-profits such as Earth Runs, Green Seattle, Mangrove Action Project, Arbor Day Foundation, Teen Feed, Feeding America, FareStart and more.
    3. The Magnuson Series purchases carbon credits (See here) to mitigate participant travel. We use sustainabletravel.org for this. 

    4. Did you know we recycle used running shoes and old race medals? Bring used running shoes to any of our events and drop them off at our registration area and they will be donated to Africa by the More Foundation Grp. Same thing goes with any old race medals, simply drop them off at the race or you can mail them to: Sports Medal Recycling 679 Washington St. Unit #8-135, South Attleboro, MA 02703. They recycle the metal and fabric, so nothing gets put in a landfill. http://www.sportsmedalrecycling.com/.
