The Radisson Blu Larnaka International Marathon proudly stands as Cyprus’s 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. Together, our initiatives during the event focus on key environmental matters.
Our aim: putting 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.
That’s why we’re operating with the endorsement of the Cyprus Environmental Commissioner and have the valuable backing of official bodies, teams, and sponsors.
Be a part of an event that’s not only about the thrill of the race but also cares deeply for our planet.
The Green Strides initiative helps us take measurable steps to improve future events by reducing petrol car use with electric vehicles, providing recycling points for clothing, footwear, and race materials, and promoting upcycling of items like banners and medals. We train staff and volunteers on emissions and recycling, use fully paperless registration and certificates, and raise awareness about CO2 emissions while encouraging alternative transportation.
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
