WHAT IS THE ENVIRO-ZONE

Since most of our races include very narrow trails with steep drop-offs along their courses, it is imperative that runners can hear each other in order to pass safely, even if they are running at a slow speed. And for some of our races, we are actually required to follow this policy due to our special use permits. Since 99% of runners agree with our policy, we have instituted a NO HEADPHONES rule at all Enviro-Sports events.

Don’t get us wrong. Headphones definitely are a useful training tool and mental motivator when used safely. But the centerpiece of every Enviro-Sports event is the environment. We hope you’ll find the natural sounds of babbling streams, crashing waves and melodic birds at our events to be an inspiring soundtrack that motivates you all the way to the finish line.
