TRITON CSR - CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSABILITY

Corporate Social Responsibility is a matter we take very seriously at TRITON and part of our MISSION & POLICY.

Through the Series, we contact thousands of athletes, family members, friends and corporate partners that puts us in a unique privileged position to capitalize on this tremendous potential to make a difference.

LOFF , TRITON official non-profitable charity partner’s name, means, Leave Only Friends and Footprints, suggesting to leave only a positive impact on the region . One of LOFF’s project is directly connected to its name and it relates to the environment and our impact in it, and it is one of TRITON races main concerns we look to tackle at all events with a number of specific actions and plan.

INTRODUCTION: reducing water waste and plastic

There is less than 2% of drinkable water on our planet. Some tribes in Africa already must walk more than three miles, daily, to find drinkable water. It’s on us to change behaviours and make a difference.

An average runner generates a trash of up to 3 to 4 bottles or cups of single use plastics, per hour of competition, and about 750 ml to 1.0 litters of water per hour. Large events, with thousands of participants, are wasting thousands of litters of water and are generating trash of hundreds of thousands of plastic containers, per event.

We see our roll in doing the best we can to saving water promoting the elimination of one-use plastic containers, and, assist in educating and motivating people, by giving the example, to take the right actions by applying these principles and measures, helping us making a difference.

On a foot race, an average stop to hydrate, for an average person will take no more than 5 seconds. On average, on a half marathon distance race, a participant will waste no more than a minute to hydrate if they stop 10 to 12 times (the number of times they usually hydrate during the race). An amazing trade off outcome for the 10 to 12 bottles or cups of trash usually generate by participant. If you stop to hydrate using  a reusable silicone cup, it takes 5 seconds at each stop, a small trade to make a huge difference!

 

HOW IT WORKS

01.

CHECK-IN

At TRITON finals, when you pick up your race kit you will receive a hydration backpack for the run that you must feel before you start the run and carry with you, that is your main source of hydration during the run course. At hydration stations you will have additionally recycled silicone cups for the additional hydration available, energy drinks, coke, etc.  You must carry with you on the run the hydration back-pack, make sure you don’t forget it.

02.

DURING THE SWIM

During the swim for those doing more than one lap and hydrating, we will have silicone cups with water in it, these will be re-used for the run course and post race recovery zone, and then given away for you to use in every day situations. 

03.

LEAVE NOTHING BUT FOOTPRINTS

When picking up your race kit you will also receive two bike bottles for the bike course you must prepare and use during the bike race on day two. The hydration stations will have 5 L bottles to refuel your bike bottles but you must stop to feel them. Please remember if you need to dispose of any bike bottles or trash (gel or bar packs, etc.), you must do it at the appropriate zone marked on the course or you face disqualification.

04.

OUR WATER FOUNTAIN

Check out the water fountain that will be stationed at the swim course and at the start / finish-line of the run course. Make use of your silicone cups at these points to help us reduced the impact on one usage plastics, on the environment.
