SA's top endurance races give back in the fight against plastic waste
Durban - Two of South Africa’s top ultra-marathons have made a difference in a campaign that not only reduces the impact of waste from their events, but also to provides a social benefit to local communities.
Launched in 2017, it raised a total of 667 desks - 333 from Two Oceans and 334 from Comrades - while with the 2018 events this increased to 800 green desks. Comrades Marathon Association chairperson Cheryl Winn said: “It has been said that the greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it, and we are mindful that the responsibility rests within each and every one of us. We are proud to be associated with the #GOGREEN Campaign and of our long-standing relationship with Wildlands as one of our official charities, with whom we share vision and values.
