Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. Run.

Take on plogging

Looking for a way to combine your love for sports and the environment? Try plogging. Pick up litter on your runs and make your neighborhood cleaner.

Say no to single-use plastic

Staying hydrated on your runs is important, and so is avoiding unnecessary plastic waste. Choose a refillable water bottle and make a sustainable impact.

Give your old gear a new life

Do your old running clothes or shoes still look pretty decent? Don’t toss them out. Donate them to a charity that collects gently worn items for people in need.
