We are delighted to support the ITRA's Green Charter and to be one of the ITRA's Green Commitment events! We have joined this great initiative by the ITRA, and encourage all (organizers and participants) who make use of trails, to also follow the practical guidelines of the program in protecting our nature and landscapes. We can do this by minimizing our environmental impact, in reducing our carbon footprint, reducing our waste, and leaving the natural landscapes in pristine condition for future generations to come.

我們非常樂意支持ITRA的綠色憲章，並成為ITRA綠色承諾活動的一份子！我們加入了ITRA的這個偉大倡議，鼓勵所有使用步道的人（不論是組織者還是參與者），也遵循這個計畫的實用指南，以保護我們的自然環境和美麗景觀。我們可以透過降低對環境的影響、減少碳足跡、減少浪費，讓自然景觀保持原始和美好的樣貌，留給未來的子孫後代。

Core objectives of the ITRA Green Program
ITRA綠色計畫的核心目標包括 

1. Lessen impact on the natural environment

- Avoid ecologically fragile or sensitive areas.
- Take environmental carrying capacity into account when planning events.
- Take away own waste.
- Minimize site alterations.

1. 減少對自然環境的影響

- 避免進入生態脆弱或敏感區域。
- 在計劃活動時考慮環境的負荷能力。
- 自己的垃圾要自行帶回去處理。
- 最小化場地的改變。 

GOAL - LEAVE NO TRACE 目標 - 不留痕跡 (Leave No Trace)。

3. Waste reduction

Avoid using disposables and short-lived products.
Reduce > Reuse > Proper Recycle

3. 減少浪費

- 避免使用一次性的產品與短壽命的商品。
- 減少 > 重複使用 > 正確回收。

GOAL - ZERO WASTE 目標- 零浪費。

We take the following steps at our trail races, as well as implementing the same steps at other outdoor events that we organize: 

- We provide eco friendly tips to participants and staff.
- We are a cupless and bowless event.
- We do not provide disposable cups or bowls and encourage all participants and staff to provide their own reusable drinking containers and bowls at the events.
- We don't provide single use food containers or packaging at our events - All food is prepared on site and provided as a buffet or a reusable plated meal, depending on the event.
- We have a selection of vegetarian meal options at our events.
- We have recycling bins at our event venues and all staff are trained in recycling effectively.
- General waste and recycling is sorted and disposed of properly after each event.
- We minimize or limit any site alterations - at the venue or on the trails. We promote that all participants must stay on the trails to avoid soil erosion and damaging the natural habitats next to the trails.
- We encourage all our participants to not disturb the local wildlife.
- We encourage all our participants to not damage or destroy the local vegetation.
- All event directional markings, ribbons or signs are removed after each event.
- As far as possible we choose event equipment and materials that can be re-used All event certificates are electronic.
- We promote and encourage that all participants make use of our event shuttle bus services or to carpool in order to reduce the amount of private vehicles at the event.
- We also promote and encourage staff to carpool or to make use of the event shuttle bus services.
