As a step towards zero waste at any of our events, we are cup-less for the Oldham Way Ultra, this simply means that if you are not carrying a water bottle etc, you will need to bring some form of cup, that way we don't have to dispose off over 600 plastic cups! Before anyone suggests we are been tight, we only pay about £1.99 /100 its simply a huge amount off waste! BAC Outdoor Leisure all ready have in stock the Hydropack Speed cup (just an example of what is available) |
