The UK IRONMAN 70.3 endeavours to leave a lasting impression on the hearts and minds of everybody who competes and spectates at this great event. However, thanks to a partnership with Veolia Environmental Services, there will not be any marks or impressions left behind in the stunning Exmoor National Park.

Veolia Environmental Services are one of the world’s leading waste management companies promoting reduction, reuse and recycling, and supporting energy recovery both as a means to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels and to cut greenhouse gases. The UK IRONMAN 70.3 promotes a healthy lifestyle and human powered movement, whether swimming, biking or running. In an age where the size of your carbon footprint is becoming ever more of an issue, the UK IRONMAN 70.3 will see 87,875 miles covered by the athletes on race day, with over a million man powered miles covered in training, all under environmentally friendly conditions.

UK IRONMAN 70.3 organisers commented, “Veolia Environmental Services share our commitment to promoting a clean and healthy environment. We are pleased they have decided to come on board with the UK IRONMAN 70.3.” Veolia Environmental Services will be providing IRONMAN UK with bins for refuse collection on site, recycling facilities and also road sweeping of the race course prior to the event.
