As one of Lyon's major events, Run In Lyon by Harmonie Mutuelle has a duty to set an example in terms of eco-responsibility and inclusion. Running in the city and in nature reminds us of the importance of preserving our environment so that we can continue to practice our sport. What's more, sharing the values of sport commits us to making physical activity accessible to all. Run In Lyon by Harmonie Mutuelle has been committed to a SER (Social and Environmental Responsibility) strategy for a number of years in order to achieve sustainable commitments.
A SUSTAINABLE EVENT
Reduce, sort, recycle and reuse waste
Every year, we adopt new eco-responsible practices and encourage you to join us in this process.
Refreshment points are optimised to facilitate waste management. Your challenge: zero waste on the road! Our objectives: recycling and reuse, with collection and composting of food waste. Uneaten food will be donated to a charity.
With access to the town's water supply, refreshment points with cups will be available, so you'll be able to fill your water bottle or flask, or help yourself to the cups provided. Don't worry about the refreshment points containing plastic bottles: they can be recycled ad infinitum. Dispose of them in the bins marked with targets along the route and avoid disqualification.
Textile collection available before you leave. Leave your clothes in the dedicated skips so that they can be sorted, donated or recycled by Les Connexions, but ESPECIALLY NO bin bags or plastic ponchos!
Lyon has excellent public transport links, so you won't have any trouble getting there. There will even be extra traffic during Run In Lyon by Harmonie Mutuelle!
If you prefer to warm up on your bike, you can leave it at a Vélo'v station on Place Bellecour or in a bike park that will be set up for the weekend of the Run In Lyon by Harmonie Mutuelle to reinforce the usual facilities.
The organisation's vehicles are 100% electric or hydrogen-powered (we still need vehicles to guarantee your safety).
AN EVENT THAT'S OPEN TO ALL
A 5km run accessible to 16-year-olds and over, combining solidarity, culture and sport. When you register, €4 of your race number will be donated to the charity Entourage.
