Trail Mix Zero Waste

A flag says zero waste

We need your support to continue efforts to make Trail Mix a sustainable race.

  • Future Trail Mix races will be "cupless." 
  • Sort your waste. Help make Trail Mix a “zero waste” event. We don’t want to slow you down on the course, so toss your waste near the aide station and our volunteers will dispose of it properly. After the race, look for waste containers in key locations. Almost all event items, including beverage containers and food waste, can be recycled or composted. Trash that can’t be recycled or composted is weighed. To be considered zero waste, trash cannot exceed one ounce per participant.
  • Carpool to help reduce emissions and ease race day congestion.

Here are a few more things that we are doing to help make Trail Mix Race sustainable:

  • Event signage is recycled year to year.
  • All printed materials use FSC certified paper.
  • Medals and awards are locally produced.
