Environmentally Friendly

This year's event will once again incorporate several environmentally conscious innovations. All drinking cups along the route will be recyclable and there will be co-mingling rubbish bins at the Run for the Kids village in the Kings Domain.

Transurban is committed to understanding the impacts of our business across all of these pillars and doing something about them – enhancing positive impacts and minimising negative ones, engaging with communities and responding to their concerns.
