Green Bib Program

Skip the race shirt and medal and give back to the planet on race day! We are excited to launch the Green Bib Program across all Canada Running Series races, in partnership with our sustainability charities Trans Canada Trail and Trees for Life.

At Canada Running Series, we’re always looking for ways to reduce our environmental impact, and we want to provide our participants with the option to do the same. The Green Bib Program allows participants the choice about what they receive as part of their race experience. If a participant chooses a Green Bib registration, a donation will be made to a participating sustainability charity in lieu of a shirt and medal. On race day, these participants will be wearing a green bib to celebrate this choice.

Read more about what this means to our partners: https://tctrail.ca/stories/wearing-a-green-bib-on-race-day-with-canada-running-series-in-vancouver/

If you have more questions about the green bib program, please email us at info@canadarunningseries.com.
