The Environment
Our business is totally
reliant on the natural environment. It provides the basis for
everything we do, without the inspiring and beautiful natural
landscapes that exist around us, our events could not exist. With this in mind we are
acutely aware of our responsibility for ensuring that our events are
sustainable and carefully managed . We aim to have a close to
zero, or where possible, a positive environmental impact on the
landscapes we encounter.
Only by going out and getting active in the outdoors out do
we learn to appreciate what an essential resource our open spaces are,
and what an increasingly important role they have to play in our
physical and spiritual wellbeing. It is our strong belief that by
providing people of all levels of fitness and experience the
opportunity to challenge themselves in the great outdoors, we are
positively contributing to society and the preservation of our natural
heritage.
By encouraging more people
to be active in the outdoors we are helping to reinforce the essential
educational message that fresh air and exercise are good for you. There
is irrefutable evidence that rigorous exercise in the outdoors produces
happier, healthier, less materialistic and better balanced people. This
can only be good for society and the planet.
Endurancelife to Support the National Trust Neptune Campaign
The National Trust’s Neptune Coastline Campaign
The National Trust’s Neptune Coastline Campaign was set up in 1965 to protect, conserve and provide access to our coast for future generations.
The National Trust own 716 kilometres of coastline in the South West which represents 63% of all UK coastline owned by the National Trust.With this ownership comes a great deal of responsibility and whilst acquisition remains important, maintenance and refurbishment of coast paths and properties is now a priority.Generous donations to the Neptune fund make this possible.
For every stage of the Coastal Trail Series that you enter Endurancelife will make a donation to the National Trust’s Neptune Campaign.This campaign was set up in 1965 to protect, conserve and provide access to our coast for future generations.
We have decided to support the National Trust’s Neptune campaign because as a company, we are committed to protecting our natural environments so that they can be enjoyed by all, now and in the future.All of the CTS routes cover National Trust land at some point.Without the National Trust, these paths would most likely be of a poor standard (if they existed at all), or land would be privately owned and Endurancelife events would not be able to take place.
We have set a fundraising target of £30,000 for the 2010 Coastal Trail Series.
Please help us to support the maintenance of the coastline so that it can continue to be enjoyed by trail runners and everyone else in years to come. If you would like to join us in supporting the Neptune Fund please make a voluntary contribution (no matter how small) when you book your CTS2010 place.

Foot & Mouth Disease & TB Update
With the unfortunate periodic reoccurrences of Foot
and Mouth and TB in the British countryside we ask all our participants
to do their bit before coming to our events.
As a precautionary measure, we would appreciate it
if all participants clean and preferably disinfect their footwear prior
to arrival at the event location. This is of particular significance to
those travelling from recently affected areas or counties. Although
these measures are not presently requirements of DEFRA (Department for
Environment, Food and Rural Affairs), we see it as a sensible
preventative measure and at the very least, an act of courtesy to the
local farmers and land owners. For more information on the current
situation please visit; http://www.defra.gov.uk/footandmouth/.
Thanks for your cooperation. Let's hope Foot and Mouth Disease and TB are one day finally put to rest.
Im used to club road racing, longer distances usually & switching to trails since being in the South West has been so refreshing. Thank you for organising such a successful event. Ive experienced many different races & you have managed an excellent balance of friendliness & organisation. With three distances on the same time that sounds like no mean feat.
