Hyde Park Blast: Go Hard, Go Green

Thursday, June 5th, 2008
By Brianne Fahey

This year’s Hyde Park Blast run/walk/cycle event has a new theme: Go Hard, Go Green.

Some environmental aspects newly added to the event include:

  • Event-wide recycling program.
  • Recycled/reusable participant bags.
  • Organic fruit from Biggs.
  • Eliminating paper registration forms and using recycled paper for any print materials.
  • Collection point for Crocs Soles United to recycle used Crocs and donate them to impoverished countries.

The event is Saturday, June 28th. To participate, register to volunteer on the Hyde Park Blast website.

This is an excellent public effort to minimize the environmental footprint of a very large event. Hopefully, it will set the bar for all citywide events to follow!
