Run Catalina has been at the forefront of the sustainability of running for several years. Our most successful initiative has been to reduce the waste of cups in the Interior by making all of our Run Catalina races Cupless.  In 2019, the Catalina Island Marathon applied for recognition as a sustainable event through the Council for Responsible Sport.  Here are some of the initiatives that may be of interest and are important to recognize
 

Cupless

In cooperation with our host, Catalina Island Conservancy, the Catalina Island Half Marathon is a CUPLESS COURSE! Participants can purchase reusable soft cups or provide their own hydration system. Thank you for helping us reduce the island's footprint! You must have your own hydration system or purchase a reusable and collapsible cup from our store. There will not be cups on the island to help.
