Sustainable Runner's Guides

Whether you’re running, spectating, or simply visiting the host city, our Sustainable Runner’s Guides will make your trip even better – for you and for the planet. 

  • You’ll learn what the race organizers are doing to make their event more eco-friendly, and get tips on how you can do your part. 
  • We have suggestions for how to get to your destination and where to stay when you’re there. 
  • Whether you want to fuel for your race, replenish afterwards, or just enjoy a meal, we’ve searched out restaurants close to key areas, like the race expo and finish line, that pride themselves on sustainability.
  •  If you want something to remember your trip – besides your race swag, of course! – we have some ideas about that, too. 
  • And since we all know how important proximity to nature is for our well-being, we’ll tell you about some green spaces you can visit to refresh and recharge.

We’ll be adding guides regularly, so keep checking back!

Sustainable Runner’s Guide to the Bank of America Chicago Marathon

The Bank of America Chicago Marathon is a leader in presenting sustainable events. You’ll be impressed when you read about some of their creative initiatives – did you know that if you visit the Windy City in the future, you might wind up sitting on a bench made from the Heatsheet you used after the race? 

We’ve got some great ideas for places to eat, shop, and enjoy the outdoors before and after the marathon, and all of them are good for the planet. We also give you suggestions about what to look for in a restaurant or hotel when you’re deciding where to dine or sleep. Whether it’s for this year’s race or another visit to Chicago, you’ll find plenty of inspiration for an enjoyable and sustainable trip!



Sustainable Runner’s Guide to the TCS New York City Marathon

The TCS New York City Marathon is the largest marathon in the world, with 50,000 runners and over one million spectators.

We’ve rounded up some great options for places to eat, shop, and enjoy the outdoors when you’re in NYC for the marathon – or any other time!  We also give you suggestions about what to look for in a restaurant or hotel when you’re deciding where to dine or sleep. You’ll find plenty of ways to enjoy your trip and take care of the planet at the same time!



Sustainable Packing Guide

When you’re going out of town for a race – or on business, or on vacation – we’ve got some ideas for how you can pack to make your trip better for the planet.

We share some interesting (we think so, anyway!) facts about the items we use every day, and have a separate checklist that you can print out and use when you’re packing for your next trip.
