As organizers of the TUI Cyprus Marathon, we’re committed to reducing our environmental impact and inspiring runners to take positive action against climate change.
Our key initiative, launched in 2023, is “You run, we plant.”
For every runner who completes the Marathon, we plant one tree in one of the villages along the course. Spread the word and help us make a real impact!
Each planting site will feature a sign with the names of all Marathon finishers—creating a lasting legacy for our planet.
As part of our efforts in minimising plastic usage, we made the decision to replace the plastic water bottles offered at the 5km Fluid Station with compostable paper cups that will be filled with water.
Plastic Cups were used in fluid stations for Electrolytes. From now on, only compostable paper cups will be used for such purpose.
During the TUI Cyprus Marathon, many participants and spectators will produce lots of litter. We will be having clearly marked waste bins at various locations so that all the waste is categorised and recycled. Green Dot Cyprus, the first Packing & Packaging Waste Management System in Cyprus is also supporting our cause and efforts.
From all of our suppliers we require to provide us with material with the minimum packaging as possible. Local suppliers are also used as much as possible to limit the travelling for products and/or services.
