If you’re a brand, race organiser, running club, coach, charity, or community group looking to align with a movement dedicated to genuine environmental change, we want to hear from you.
The Green Runners (TGR) is an independent Community Interest Company (CIC) dedicated to challenging the status quo and promoting authentic environmental and social labour standards. We believe that true change requires both grassroots advocacy and corporate commitment.
Our approach
It’s vital to understand that TGR enters into collaborations, not partnerships, and we accept support, but not sponsorship. We offer a platform to amplify the work of entities genuinely driving change, but we do not offer a green endorsement. Collaborating with TGR does not protect you from the community’s scrutiny; we reserve the absolute right to remain a “critical friend” and call out practices misaligned with best environmental practice.
How to get involved
To start the process, please follow these two steps:
- Review our Guidelines: ensure you have read our Core Collaboration Guidelines (Longevity, Circularity, Verifiable Claims, Ethics, and Climate Action). We expect all Collaborators to act in a manner appropriate to their scale and sector.
- Submit your Enquiry: review our screening checklist below to ensure your core business model aligns with our non-negotiables.
What happens next?
Once we receive your enquiry, our team will review your details. If there’s a potential fit, we’ll get in touch to begin our official disclosure and discussion process.
We look forward to running towards a greener future together!
