Carbon Neutral Sporting Events

The new trend in outdoor racing in Colorado seems to be hosting carbon neutral events, focusing on recycling and zero waste. One such example is the 5430 triathlon series in Boulder, CO, running throughout the summer. The first event, the sprint triathlon, hit a 93 percent diversion rate which means that only 7 percent of all the waste generated by the participants, volunteers and spectators wound up in the trash.

If you're looking for another such race, check out the Breck Singletrack Festival, September 7-9 weekend.
