The Radisson Blu Larnaka International Marathon proudly stands as Cyprus’ inaugural Green Marathon since its very beginning.
In collaboration with Bioland Energy Group, our dedicated Sustainability Sponsor, we’re elevating our commitment to a green and sustainable approach through the Green Strides Initiative.
Our aim: to put recycling at the forefront, highlighting the need to reduce carbon emissions, ensuring our environment gets the care it deserves and reminding everyone of their role in battling climate change effects while keeping CO2 emissions to a minimum throughout our events.
The Green Strides initiative helps us collect measurable data directing us towards best practices for hosting green-conscious athletic events in Cyprus’ unique environmental and societal landscape.
Our Goals
- Minimise use of petrol cars & replacing them with zero-emissions fully electric cars
- Recycling points at all fuelling stations during the race
- Provision of clothing and footwear recycling points
- Recycling and upcycling of otherwise wasted material such as PVC banners and medals
- Training of employees and volunteers around emissions, recycling and circular economy
- Fully paper-less registrations, processing, and participation certificates, from start to finish
- Increase awareness around CO2 emissions and promote the use of alternative transportation
