OUR COMMITMENT: To be CRYO-responsible

Together, through the CRYO Races, let’s make sure we’re environmentally responsible and minimize the impact of our presence on the magnificent sites we use.

To do this, it’s important for athletes, volunteers and visitors to:
● Reduce waste production on site as much as possible (snack packs and energy gels, for example);
● Note that water cans will be provided at the feed stations, but you must be self-sufficient in terms of bottles or glass;
● Only use the toilet facilities provided (at the start, halfway and finish sites);
● Respect the fact that the only fires allowed will be in outdoor stoves or fireplaces. No fires directly on the ground will be used. In addition, no fireworks will be set off;
● Prefer carpooling or bus transportation for your trip to the site. We invite athletes to go to Togetzer to suggest or find a carpool! A great way to make the road more enjoyable while reducing environmental impact!;
● Make sure you dispose of your garbage in the appropriate place according to the sorting system in place;
● As an athlete or snowmobile driver, respect the marked trails. Never go off the marked trails.

In addition to these practices, the CRYO Races organization commits to:
● Provide participants and volunteers with facilities for sorting of residual materials;
● Respect the procurement policy of the Sur la pointe des pieds foundation which favors local businesses that adopt eco-responsible policies;
● Not to hand out any non-reusable promotional items to athletes;
● Organize shuttles to transport athletes;
● Encourage paid employees and volunteers to carpool;
● Use reusable cutlery and utensils;
● Provide for the distribution of surplus food, where appropriate;
● Promote vegetarian meal options (a carnivorous offer will still be available in 2025, but will be reduced for subsequent years);
● Offset greenhouse gas emissions via Carbone Boréal ;
● Promote food formats and products with little or no single-use packaging.

As part of our commitment to a greener future, we are offsetting greenhouse gas emissions generated by the event by supporting Carbone Boréal.
