I completed a half-marathon yesterday morning; I ran it at a conservative pace and met my targets. The Eco Run was a brilliant way of educating runners on the need to be mindful and conservative when using resources during a race. Staging such an event can be potentially wasteful and inefficient. Runners were encouraged to 1) Bring their own drinking cups, or refill the ones they initially took at the first aid-station 2) Purchase the race t-shirt (optional) at an additional, nominal cost; runners could wear those from previous editions 3) Bring their own e-wastes to be recycled at the race-site 4) Sort out their refuse (banana peels from cans from cups) clearly in their correct sorting bins 5) Race bibs (number tags) were about 60 percent smaller in size. 6) Only digital certificates would be issued. 7) S$1 for each kilometre completed by each runner would be directed into a charity fund. Run for your ego ( I mean, ECO) or for fund (fun). It was also a good reason to meet like-minded people at such an event. A race can be treated as an assessment of fitness or higher-intensity workout. How ecologically-minded are you? How conservative are you with your energies? Do you feel inflated or deflated after each working day? How do you recharge yourself, and re-cycle your motivations for the next day? How resourceful can you be during a crisis? #running #marathon #ecology #ecofriendly #recharged #greenrevolution #recycling #leadership #personalleadership
