Continuing from last time, Aqua Clara provided water to runners by installing water bottles at all 180 water points on the course at the event venue. As a result, we have achieved zero waste of disposable cups and plastic bottles on the course. We were able to contribute to reducing trash by approximately 86%
(approximately 6.6 tons) compared to past competitions. Image
