sus·​tain·​able | \ sə-ˈstā-nə-bəl: of, relating to, or being a method of harvesting or using a resource so that the resource is not depleted or permanently damaged

Come recharge your batteries running the dirt roads of Craftsbury and join us as we explore running through the lens of both environmental and physical sustainability. Our guiding questions will be:

How do we empower runners to make a positive difference in the environmental crisis?

How do we run in a way that maximizes our health over our entire lifespan?

We’ll learn about larger industries that support athletic pursuits such as textile manufacturing, race event hosting and food production. Together we’ll brainstorm ways to reduce our carbon footprint.

We’ll also focus on how sustainability applies to our own bodies and discuss how fueling, injury prevention, and training load all factor in. Running when done right is an incredible tool for promoting physical, emotional and mental health. Our goal is for you to still enjoy running sustainably when you are 90.
