GREEN INITIATIVES
The TTOM is committed to environmentally conscious running behaviour , including but not limited to reduced water consumption and stringent waste management and upcycling . For the first time in 2022 , the event has gone completely sachet-free in a bid to eliminate plastic waste from the route , and thus all hydration will be served in paper cups . Furthermore , our waste management plan offers a sustainable way to collect and process the nonorganic waste generated during race week .
