Cracovia Marathon in a good climate: let's act today with tomorrow in mind!

Team Cracovia Maraton is actively involved in the city campaign "Krakow in a good climate", contributing to building awareness among participants and friends of our race. For over a dozen years we have been mobilizing you to physical activity, now we will try to additionally encourage you to combine your love of sport with care for our planet. While covering the kilometers let's do something good for ourselves and others!

Our running community knows how to build good habits. Starting from the thought in your head about putting on your first shoes and making a few kilometers, ending with personal bests in marathons or smaller runs, we develop activities that after some time become automatic for us. People who love sports also know that you need to work to achieve the desired results. Work hard and systematically. The results sometimes come very quickly, sometimes you need patience. At the end, we reach our dream finish line anyway. But the most important thing is that the developed habits allow us to reach a certain level, which we only improve later.

Marathon in a good climate

By taking small steps, counting each subsequent kilometer, we will encourage you to build good habits, creating a marathon in a good climate.

We are aware that the fate of the world is in the hands of each of us .With this in mind, we will be changing various elements related to the runs organized by the Cracovia Maraton Team, building with ourselves and in you good habits. We are sure that many of you will contribute to the pursuit of sustainable development and #inthelongrun we will be #runforearth.

Let act today with tomorrow in mind

During this year's edition of Cracovia Marathon and accompanying events, we introduce (or maintain) several elements to change our runs step by step towards a good climate:

• we minimize plastic and paper in starter packages,
• T-shirt of our Sponsor ASICS which you will receive in the starter packages of the 19th Cracovia Maraton is made of 100% recycled materials,
• we give up the foil packaging for T-shirts that you will receive in the starter packages,
• we will set up special bins for waste segregation at the Competition Office and at the EXPO,
• we give up plastic cups, plates and cutlery during the Pasta Party for ecological things,
• on the route of the 19th Cracovia Marathon we will set up 8 points with water from hydrants (from which you will also be able to pour water directly into your bottles),
• we are giving up plastic cups in favor of paper cups (yes, apart from hydrants, there will be points with water from our Sponsor Piwniczanka, with whom cooperation was not accidental - Piwniczanka cares about the environment with its various activities),
• on the route of the run, behind the nutrition and refreshment points, we will set points WYRZUĆ ŚMIECI/THROW THE TRASH (we encourage you to hit the target, make it easier for the organizers and volunteers to clean up and leave a good impression),
• together with our Sponsor ASICS we have prepared a pilot project for you to reduce the consumption of plastic bottles. Soon, we will encourage you to take part in some study, which is to give an impulse to change habits (we will inform you about it soon on our social media).

We will still work on the next elements in mind #runforearth, that the next running steps help our planet.
