While organizing and volunteering at races, I noticed most aid stations only have paper/plastic cups, pet bottles, meals served in plastic plates with plastic spoons, trails marked with plastic markings and people use them without realizing they are creating waste. I started to notice garbage bags filled with single use plastic after every race. I run outdoor trails with an appreciation for nature, but ending races with so much garbage made me feel sad. Some friends and I decided we wanted to take action. And this is how we came up with the Steel Trail Race in Zenica.
Main goals of the race:
⛰️ To establish Smetovi as a nature park in order to protect it.
☀️ To point out the problem of air pollution in the Zenica city, where Smetovi is represented as a place of escape #RunAbovetheClouds, # (hashtag) which symbolically explains the problems of air pollution in Zenica, but also offers a solution.
🌱 Steel Trail Zenica will introduce a new form of implementing “reduce” and “reuse” over “recycle” and set a good example to the community and country.
