THE RESPONSIBLE COMPANY FOR EVERYONE

Bringing Year-Round Sustainability to the Picturesque California Coast

Recover has partnered with Blistering Pace’s full lineup of races along the coastal Northern California shores to inspire and ensure more sustainable initiatives at each of their iconic events. In addition to providing all participant shirts, Recover also outfits volunteers and green team members with 100% recycled, and recyclable, shirts.

"At the Big Sur Marathon Foundation, we are driven by our mission to enrich and empower our community through charitable giving and to inspire a passion for healthy lifestyles by creating memorable running experiences. Our partnership with Recover Brands not only benefits our runners and aligns with our mission, it creates the opportunity to leverage Recover's sustainability leadership within our industry. We are grateful for this partnership." - Josh Priester Executive Director / Race Director

Each of the events also includes a robust offering of event merchandise including shirts, hoodies, headwear, etc. to further elevate the participant experience and drive incremental revenue to the event.

Taking things a step further, Recover also activates our 360’ Closed Loop Program at the race expos and routinely diverts hundreds of pounds of apparel from the landfill. These efforts dovetail with local groups like Blue Strike Environmental to make the Big Sur International Marathon one of the “greenest” marathons in the country.
