Atayne Earth Week Contest on iRunFar.com
April 20, 2009 by Bryon Powell · 53 Comments
Atayne in Morocco – photo by George VelascoBesides minimizing the environmental impact of its shirts, Atayne has some innovative approaches for greening the running community. One of our favorites is the “trash run,” which is a run during which one collects trash. Atayne has coordinated trash runs at some races, but also encourages individuals to collect trash on their runs. (Read about Atayne and trash runs) With this in mind, we thought it fitting to make Atayne Earth Week contest entry contingent upon committing to a trash run. Therefore, all you need to do to enter the contest is to leave a comment and include the message “I will run for trash.” You’ll be on the honor system for actually following through with your commitment. We’ll draw names at 8 p.m. EDT on Arbor Day (Friday, April 24). Feel free to tell your friends about the idea of cleaning up where they run AND the chance to win a $50 gift certificate from Atayne!
If you want to jump the gun and pick up an Atayne shirt now, enter the code – friendirunfar – in the Coupon Code/Promotional Code Field when you check out. If you do, you’ll get free shipping.

Ohmygosh, one of the earlier comments is so funny! Much to my continued amusement, Bryon has been speaking in the third (and often plural) person for a while, long before his Saharan galavanting. :)
I will hike in Yosemite for trash. (Is hiking alright? Tourist season has descended up Yosemite and so has their trash.)

“Any fitness activity you choose to participate in, while at the same time performing environmental clean-up, labels you an ‘Eco-Runner,’ or whatever title you so choose. Eco-conscious behavior can involve so much more than just running….The Eco-Runner concept can be applied to any activity you love. Leave nothing but footprints. And take someone else’s trash with you.” (Sam Huber, as quoted in the Atayne 360 April ’09 newsletter)
