Sustainability

We’re working hard to reduce our environmental impact and to leave each venue cleaner than we found it. We are accredited with the Sustainable Travel Network, follow the Comhairle na Tuaithe Guidelines for Organising Outdoor Activity Events and have partnered with Trash Free MTB to help improve our sustainability by having a ‘Sustainability Champion’ on the ground at each of our events to help promote good practice and awareness of our impact on the outdoors.

Here are some quick wins to give you a flavour of what you might notice at our events:

✅ One dedicated bin station at the event with recycling, compost and refuse bins.

✅ Hemp twine rather than zip ties to secure number plates and banners.

✅ Reusable straps and zip ties where required.

✅ Working with our vendors to reduce waste and improve sustainability of their products and to encourage working with local providers.

✅ Promoting leave no trace and a trash free trails ethos to riders.

✅ No printing of competitor notes or posters etc.

We will be recording and reporting how much waste we produce at each event. This will give us a target for the following season and a base to work from. We’re delighted to be starting this journey and hope you’ll all join us in being a little big greener this year.
