SUSTAINABILITY
At Highland Kings Ultra Race, we are committed to reducing our environmental impact and supporting the local community. Our goal is to create a sustainable event that not only benefits our participants but also the environment and the local community.
Below are some of the key areas we focus on to achieve this goal:
-
We believe that supporting the local community is essential to the success of our event. We work closely with local businesses, organisations, and governing bodies to ensure that our event has a positive impact on the community. We also encourage our participants to support local businesses during their stay in the area.
-
We source our produce locally to reduce transportation emissions and support local businesses. We work with local farmers and suppliers to provide fresh, seasonal produce for our participants. By using local produce, we not only reduce our environmental impact but also support the local economy.
-
We are committed to reducing our environmental impact by minimising waste, conserving energy, and reducing emissions. We encourage our participants to carpool or use public transportation to reduce emissions from transportation. We also use biodegradable and compostable products to minimize waste. Our event is powered by renewable energy sources such as solar generators and with small numbers of athletes participating on Highland Kings leaves a low foot impact.
-
We partner with local governing bodies like the National Trust for Scotland to ensure the preservation of the beautiful landscapes we race through. We work closely with these organisations to minimize our impact on the environment and promote conservation efforts.
-
We believe that education and awareness are essential to creating a sustainable future. We educate our participants on the importance of sustainability and encourage them to make environmentally conscious decisions. We also work with local schools and organisations to promote sustainability and environmental awareness.
-
Highland Kings partner with approved suppliers like TEKO Eco Performance socks. Due to their use of sustainable materials and environmentally responsible manufacturing processes. By choosing TEKO socks, consumers can make a positive impact on the environment while still enjoying high-quality and comfortable products.
In conclusion, at Highland Kings Ultra Race, we are committed to creating a sustainable event that benefits the environment and the local community. We believe that by working together, we can create a better future for everyone.
