Atayne Earth Week Contest on iRunFar.com

We’re excited to announce that Atayne is sponsoring an Earth Week contest here on iRunFar.com. We’ve previously written about Atanye and their sweet POV shirts. As for performance, Bryon just ran 125 miles across the Sahara in five days in his green Atayne 4Rs shirt (pictured below) and it smelled a whole lot better than him when he finished. Of course, it would have been nice if the many water bottles Bryon used during the race could have been saved, as all of Atayne’s shirts are made from recycled plastic bottles! Anyway, keep reading if you’re interested in winning one of 5 $50 Atayne gift certificates!

Besides 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.
