Running the Highlands Marathon isn’t just about personal fitness — it’s about planetary wellness. At Green Heart® Champions, we’ve designed every part of this event to serve the environment as much as the athlete. Here are 5 powerful ways your race helps the planet:

1. Tree Planting Stations Along the Route
   Each runner plants a seedling before or after their race. In 2024, over 2,000 trees were planted in just one day.
2. Carbon-Neutral Logistics
   We offset all race emissions through verified reforestation projects in the Mau Forest.
3. Plastic-Free Hydration Zones
   Every water station uses refillable dispensers and biodegradable cups — say goodbye to single-use plastic.
4. Eco-Friendly Merchandise
   Race t-shirts and medals are made from recycled materials and locally sourced fibers.
5. Awareness Through Action
   Your participation directly funds green education programs in surrounding schools.

Together, we’re proving that sport can lead the way in protecting the planet. Ready to race for a cause? Register for the next Highlands Marathon today.
