One of the goals for the Market To Market Relay is to be one of the most environmentally friendly running events in the country. By actively pursuing this option and integrating it into the race, we hope that we can educate runners on easy ways to be more environmentally conscious in their daily lives. In addition to education, we hope to highlight companies and non-profit organizations that are making a difference. We also hope other race directors will integrate these green until they become standard.
