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.

Gobelets et eau de la ville

Fully compostable cups (guaranteed without PVC film) are offered at all refreshment points. In order to reduce plastic bottles we use the city water network.

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.

Cooperative carpooling

On the Mobicoop website or application, you can offer carpooling or search for a route to go to the La Rochelle Serge Vigot Marathon.

BIOTOP PARTNERSHIP

Partner of the La Rochelle Serge Vigot Marathon since 2018, the Biotop company, with the help of our volunteers, recovers and recycles the various materials recovered over the weekend: cardboard, textiles, plastics (3 categories: films, bottles, cups), corks, food waste (banana and orange peels, leftovers from volunteer meals and pasta parties). Every year we work to reduce waste at source.

GIVE AWAY YOUR OLD SPORTS SHOES!

A big bin will wait for your old sports shoes all weekend long at the Marathon Village entry (Espace Encan, Quai Louis Prunier). Just throw in your sneakers: they will later be distributed by a charity to people in need ("Entraides et Solidarités Rochelaises")
