As it was mention above, the event will not exceed 250 participants and the number of visitors is expected to be reduced and limited to family members of the participants, the use of the old schools of the village as the centre of attention, checkroom and changing rooms will give us the possibility of centralizing in it the information related to the event and all that we consider appropiate at an enviromental level, since this facility is also used as a place of exhibition and meetings, and has garbage cans and containers with the possibility of recycling the different materials used in this event. The proximity of the schools and the main square makes it possible to gather in the latter the main containers for recycling and collecting everything that is used in the event.

The reduced number of participants makes the volume and the movement in terms of purchasing and contracting low, even so, all possibilities of participation with fair trade will be taken into account, especially with local trade. In this regard, almost all sponsors are small local businessman: bar and restaurant, builders, rural houses, physiotherapist, etc. In each case, they provide what they can: from broth and snacks for runners after the race, as everything related to the supplies during the event. In the same way, the use of marking and delimitation fences is a contribution of one of the building companies of the town, as well as all the people involved in the assembly of the race, which is reduced to volunteers from the town, both old and young.

Almost all the communication for the publicity of the event has been made through social networks and spezialized media, mostly digital, minimazing the use of phisical paper supports. Physical posters have been eliminated, using digital apps for its distribution and dissemination, in order not to generate any enviroment impact.

Conservationist messages: The organization periodically remains all the participants the delicacy, importance and peculiarity of the enviroment where the events take place. The awareness of the importance that we all collaborate with the care of the enviroment is very important, and so we work insistently at communication level through the newsletter sent to the participants, messages with instructions, and all kind of means available to the organization.

As it is a test that takes place in a natural enviroment, all possible impacts in terms of access, waste, involvement of fauna and vegetation will be taken in account.

1. Mobility and facilities
   • We will try to use as few vehicles as possible, as well as the installation of as few checkpoints and refreshment posts as possible, always guaranteeing the safety and excellence in the quality of service to the participant.
   • The checkpoints and refreshments posts will be reduced to one folding table in case of refreshmen posts and none at the checkpoints.
   • In the same way, the volunteers will be taken on the same trip by one vehicle, with the intention of reducing the number of vehicles and displacements on the tracks of the route.
   • The tents used as well as the facilities to be used: installation of tents and fixed elements, will be installed for several successive events in order to minimize the costs of assembly and displacement.
2. Marking of the route.
   For he marking of the route, signaling elements specially designed for this purpose will be used and collected by the event staff, in order to be reused in subsequent events.

a. Waste containers:

• Both in the municipalities (urban environment) and in the refreshment posts there will be different containers for the separation and segregation of waste (waste paper, plastic and cans, as well as currently usable material such as medical masks and gloves).
• The centralization of all this waste will be done in the finish area, where the cleaning service will collect and remove it, once the day is over, for transfer it to the places intended for this purpose in the local waste facilities, or point of collection and segregation of waste.

Water requirements are limited and directly proportional to the number of participants. The use and consumption of water will be taken into account, reducing bottled water and providing jerry cans for its transportation to the refreshment posts, eliminating as much as possible the containers used.

The event will take place during the day and all actions will be held outdoors, minimizing the use of indoor spaces and artificial lights. However, with the aim of having open-air spaces but covered in case of a storm, it will be taking into account the need to have some protection against inclement weather

In this line and taking into account the health of athletes, there is the possibility of having heaters in very adverse weather situations, but the provision of the checkroom is managed as close as possible so that participants can change quickly and use warm clothes to reduce the loss of temperature at the end of the event.

Municipal ordinances will be followed at all times and the use of equipment that generates unnecessary noise will be avoided at times that are sensitive for the rest and tranquility of the neighbors.

The use of loudspeakers will be limited to the urban area and will be limited to the departure and arrival areas, without the volume being annoying. The route will be limited when passing through sensitive areas, for the protection and preservation of protected species.

Events are formidable platforms for raising environmental awareness for all participants: athletes, spectators, organization staff, volunteers, media, suppliers and sponsors.

The integration in events of actions aimed at raising the awareness of all participating agents is essential to achieve a «sustainable» and environmentally friendly citizen awareness.

9.1 Training

• We have a training plan for the staff involved in the organization of the event: area managers, offices, facilities, etc.

There is a manifesto and decalogue of commitment to good environmental practices.

9.2 The Green team: Ecovolunteers

We have the presence of Ecovolunteers to help us in the proper development of the environmental policy of the event, as well as in the monitoring and follow-up of environmental measures and cleaning tasks, detection of anomalies, etc.

9.3 Environmental report of the event: A report is prepared for each test in which indicators of the environmental impacts generated by the organization of the event are recorded.

9.4 Ecomenssages: In the advertising media: posters, briefing, race bibs, press releases, etc. we have messages that allude to the preservation and conservation of the natural environment in which the tests take place and respect for the environment.

• Spectators are informed by loudspeakers of the measures adopted by the organization.
• We transmit other types of messages related to sustainability, such as, for example, those referring to health -exercise or nutrition-, cooperation and solidarity campaigns, etc.

The event takes place in the natural environment and does not require, strictly speaking, a «fixed» installation, since the natural environment itself is used as a sporting space.

The responsibility for safeguarding the natural environment corresponds to this organization, as well as to the participants and the public.

The planning and management of these events are aimed at not causing or minimizing environmental impacts on the terrain.

Participants are informed of the prohibition to throw waste on the ground, and to take waste with them.

In any case, the route must be checked once each sporting activity is finished to make sure that there is no waste left.

As an identifying sign of sustainability within sporting events and cycling races, the ECO RACE concept arises, which identifies those events that comply with a series of sustainability policies and good environmental practices, in favor of the conservation of the environment.
