Why a blog about trail running & sustainablity?

This is the start of an unpretentious blog about trail running & sustainability. 
It will be in english in order to interact with a greater number of runners. 
Sustainability is a core value of our race Österlen Spring Trail since the start back in 2015 and like anyone else we are not perfect. 
But every year we are working on getting a little bit better. 
ÖST is run by a small enterprise called ADP Sport Events AB and even though we have lot of partners it is mainly me Gaël running the show.
The intention of this blog is to show and explain the extra work we do toward being a sustainable and why not regenerative sport event. 
Even if the journey started already in 2014 while preparing the first event my interest for rural development through nature & outdoor tourism is since ever growing. 
During the pandemic I used the extra time to study and dive myself into the subject of sport & sustainability. 
Now the coming three years ADP sport events AB is part of an Erasmus + EU-project.
​More about it on the next post!
Below you can see a infographic which gives you a good picture of the work we do today to make ÖST a more sustainable event:
