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 [...]

GreenLaces

What happens when you combine an environmentally-conscious running blog, an overworked editor, and the holidays – a post about GreenLaces! GreenLaces is simple, yet commendable environmental commitment program in which you (or someone else) makes a promise to the planet, donates $5 for a pair of green laces, and then wear a pair of [...]

END Footwear: The Beginning of Sustainable Footwear (Part 2)

However, as previously noted, iRunFar is passionate about land conservation and preservation. There are many reasons for this, not [...]

Running, Diet, and the Environment

The final installment in iRunFar’s Earth Week series is a simple plea to consider what you eat. There will be no call for you to become a raw food vegan. No preaching that you steak lovers must forsake meat of the hoof forever in favor of tofu and tempeh filled life. Nope, [...]
