It was a wonderful new collaboration between\u00a0Ennis Tidy Towns<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Ennis Track<\/a>\u00a0for our pilot plastic bottle-free, sustainable\u00a0Run The Banner 2019<\/a>\u00a010k road race. This included:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

– No plastic water bottles were used at water stations or at the end of the race
\n– All cups were 100% compostable and segregated from other waste by Tidy Towns volunteers.
\n– Water was provided in resuable dispensers, great for future races
\n– Printing of flyers was hugely reduced and only on 100% recycled paper
\n– litter bags were fully compostable\/biodegradable<\/p>\n

Ennis Tidy Towns also sponsored, with assistance from\u00a0Greener Clare<\/a>\u00a0grant aid, reusable water bottles for all entrants to the kids race.<\/p>\n

24.75kg of waste was diverted from landfill and will now be composted. We are also eagerly awaiting our new Community Cup which will be available to community groups throughout Ennis to prevent unnecessary waste creation even further.<\/p>\n

Couldn’t have done with without the great team from\u00a0Ennis Track<\/a>, so supportive of the initiative and who have shown great leadership in the move towards more sustainable road races! Onwards and upwards.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
