The Green Race
Posted by Jennifer Norman April 18th, 2008 .
The Sustainability Institute and TrySports present the Green Village Tour 8k Race /5k walk on May 3rd. The course winds through the new environmentally sensitive developments in the Park Circle area. This is a certified course - set your stop watch.
The organizers have taken many steps to be green. What a good reason to unplug the treadmill for a morning. Green initiatives include organic cotton race shirts and biodiesel shuttle buses.
To all you runners who passed me on the Arthur Ravenel, I dare you to try it again on May 3rd! I have new running shoes, and am donating old pairs to TrySports booth at The Earth Day Festival. They will be donating shoes to Samaritans Feet, another great reason to stop at the festival. See you there.

I really like this idea of holding the Green Village Tour 8K race/ 5K Walk. This is a great effort set forth by the public relations people in charge of organizing this event. They have targeted a wide variety of an audience, those able to partake in more ways than just being in the race. Volunteers who help put on the event, donating shoes, driving the biodiesel busses. They even made the race t-shirts out of organic cotton, that’s amazing. There are so many different ways that this event is showing how to be “green”. It is catchy and that is a good way to get people involved in taking care of the earth because we only have one.
