Envirorace

Our "zero waste" 5k race will take place on Sept 14th 2025 at 7:30 am in scenic downtown Venice. The course will feature  2 loops on the city's famous canopy tree-lined road. 

The race will start across from daiquiri deck on Venice ave and head west towards the beach. The finish will be at Daquiri deck and Centennial Park and include a post-race party with a beer garden, food (including vegan options), live music and awards.

Our main goal is to raise environmental awareness in the running community (and non-running community) and promote a "less waste" environmental responsibility with event hosting. 

For our race there will be no single-use plastic water bottles, no plastic goodie bags or other items that just end up in the landfill! The water stops on the course will be supplied with reusable silicone cups that will be collected, sanitized and reused after our event. We will also be using compostable areca palm leaf plates and napkins which will decompose in our compost bins 8-12 weeks. We will be collecting all leftover food waste as well so please be mindful of placing items in the correct bins. We will donate the unused food to our local Salvation Army.
