DUBLIN CITY HARRIERS-GREAT IRELAND RUN 2025 SUSTAINABILITY PROGRAMME

Dublin City Harriers will continue with its sustainability programme commenced during GIR 2023, in the organisation of the Great Ireland Run, 2025, scheduled for 13th April 2025.

With the overall aim of reducing the use of non-renewable materials to the very minimum necessary, and eliminating waste, the programme will continue through 2025 until complete.

For 2025 our direct actions will be:

  • Sourcing medallions made with renewable materials made of Wood. The medallion ribbons will be made from recycled materials.
  • Sourcing T-shirts from recycled materials.
  • Reducing the number of Tshirts imported by offering them on a purchase only basis. The race fee will be reduced accordingly.
  • All water supplied to athletes will be in decomposable tetra packs
  • Where possible plastic wrapping will be eliminated.
  • The timing system will be powered by battery rather than by fossil fuel powered generators.
  • The PA system will be powered by battery rather than by fossil fuel powered generators.
  • The use of paper will be reduced to the minimum possible.
  • Race numbers will be produced using recycled materials.
  • Additional waste and recycling bins will be available on site.
  • Use of public transport will be encouraged.
  • Access to race by bicycle to be encouraged. Cycle parking area to be made available.
