Sustainability: Sustainability is important to the St Cyrus Solos and here are some ways in which we have incorporated sustainability into our event this year:

• Reduce waste: we have chosen not to provide goodie bags this year and we will have separate bins for rubbish to help dispose of it in the most environmentally friendly way.
• Encouraging carpooling and public transport to get to the event, reducing carbon emissions from cars and promoting sustainable transportation.
• We have partnered with Fotheringham Homes, as our Main Sponsor. Their houses are built to high energy efficiency standards and will have renewable heating (air source and solar panels) options moving away from gas or oil as a fuel source.

We look forward to welcoming you on Sunday 23rd June, we hope you enjoy your run. If you have any questions in the meantime, please email stcyrussolos@gmail.com
