Carbon Neutrality and the County Marathon

Our first attempts at actually approaching carbon neutrality began with this year's events. Our goal was to book carbon sequestering of all of the estimated carbon generated to deliver this year's event with the assistance of the 3rd party provider you will see on the back of your shirts. This year, on a per runner basis, it was an expensive time consuming thing to do. Next year, with more runners and more time to accurately assess our collective footprint we hope it will be easier and less expensive per runner than it was this year!

For October 2nd 2022, the carbon our races generate - be it from busing services, ambulances, web usage, volunteers etc., and the carbon you generate getting to the County will be scheduled for permanent removal from the atmosphere using direct air capture ... because its time.
