GRAN FONDO ARGENTINA: A GREEN EVENT
Gran Fondo Argentina is a Green Race organized under strict sustainability criteria, with a strong commitment to the environment. The planning and execution of the event focus on:
• environmental preservation
• efficiency in the use of resources
• responsible waste management
• improvement of the local environment
• social responsibility
WASTE MANAGEMENT: GREEN AND BLACK CONTAINERS
To minimize the environmental impact, green and black containers will be installed in the starting area, the Feed Stations within the circuit and in the Branch area. Participants must deposit their waste there, separating organic waste from inorganic waste.
In addition, the race regulations establish that any runner who throws waste on the ground will be disqualified and removed from the competition.
ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS
Gran Fondo Argentina will carry out an awareness campaign based on the principles of the 3Rs: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Specific signage will be implemented throughout the circuit, in the start/finish area and in the branch area to reinforce these concepts.
ASSISTANCE WITH E-MECHANICS
A team of mechanics will be travelling the circuit on electric bicycles to assist riders who need technical help, thus reducing the event's carbon footprint.
SUSTAINABLE HYDRATION
The hydration policy of the Gran Fondo Argentina prioritizes environmental care. For this reason, there will be two Feed Stations, strategically located on the circuit, where riders will be able to recharge their water bottles in dispensers with the help of the organization's volunteers. No disposable bottles or cups will be delivered.
100% DIGITAL COMMUNICATION
To reduce our environmental impact, all communication with riders, as well as the logistical guide for the event, will be carried out exclusively in digital format, minimizing the printing of materials.
POST-RACE CLEANING
At the end of the race, a specialized team will walk the circuit to collect any waste that riders may have left, thus guaranteeing that the event leaves the minimum impact on the environment
