CLEAN MARATHON
La Rochelle Serge Vigot Marathon is commited to ensuring a more responsible event, through various actions. Together, let's have an eco-friendly marathon!
A dedicated volunteers team
The team ensures that runners respect recycling instructions at refreshment points, or during the pasta party, and raises environmental awareness during the weekend.
Compostable cups
Entirely compostable cups (without plastic) are available at all refreshment points.
Boat shuttle
A sea bus, free for runners, enables them to reach the “Camping du Soleil” campsite for showers and parking lot.
Dry toilets
24 dry toilet cabins along the route, every kilometer.
Dematerialized number pick-up
No need to print the race number voucher, we can check it directly on your smartphone. Less paper, less waste!
Race number bags
The race number bags are made out of 100% recycled paper. And we didn't stuff them with advertising fliers!
Waste recovery
34 waste recovery points are set every kilometer -- they were made by local companies out of fishing net.
