Enter The Green Runners, a grassroots initiative set up by athletes on a mission to enjoy the sport without the footprintRunning. Finishers’ medals, race day merch and the flood of single-use plastic littering big events all take their toll. Now, a growing number of track stars, marathoners and cross-country die-hards are mobilising under the banner of The Green Runners (TGR) to reimagine the sport by cutting emissions, tackling waste and urging others to join the race against climate breakdown. 3) Eat clean and green Plenty of Green Runners – Hall included – have made the switch to a plant-based diet, proving that high performance is entirely possible without the animal protein. 4) Speak up Personal change is an important step along the road, but Hall urges runners to join collective action for maximum impact.
