Curly's Athletes

We're a community and charity focussed event management company :) 

We've tried hard to focus on doing the best we can on our sustainable approach, but we were too busy just doing what we do.

So we decided the best thing to do was to go 'all in' with a BIG GREEN project.

Challenging our focus and creating new ideas !

What are we up to?

Watch it grow...

The event is not just our journey, we have an 'open resource' approach to sharing all our Big Green learnings.

So anyone and everyone who wants to help make their events greener, will be able to find out how we're doing on some of the big challenges we face. 


Big Green actions underway:


  • The Big Green award, a profit share from entries or from sponsors going to support the Big Green Award. This is then directed to support our local green initiatives. We will be selecting these as we progress (if you are one... get in touch!) 
  • Tree's and plants (we need more!), we're working on a sponsor to help support our planting plans.  
  • Sustainable kit - from t-shirts, snacks, water and medals. Everything has to be the ‘best’ green option we can source.
  • Zero waste - ideally we want ‘none’ and we’re driven / obsessed to get as close to this as possible.
  • Reduce emissions - from how you get to the event, to how we get around the event and how we manage the traffic in the area… we want the event to be a breath of fresh air for everyone :) 
  • Protecting habitats-through our charity partners, we are actively investing in protecting and celebrating our amazing wildlife and natural environments. 
  • And more?  yup! ... we've a BIG GREEN tracker, where we list everything we do as part of an event. This will be shared, in our review, so everyone can benefit from some of the solutions we're working on!

Big Green Events?

Why?

Green plans?

Green plans?

We love active events and have a passion for wildlife. 


So we (Curlys) are bringing a collection of walk, run, cycle and swim events to North Lincolnshire and Scunthorpe from spring 2023. 


What started as a concept for a marathon event, has evolved into a Marathon of Events!


This allows us to bring something for everyone, growing the events year after year. 

Bringing new people into the area, and provide the community with something inspirational.


Great challenges in fantastic and surprising locations.

Green plans?

We're challenging every aspect of our challenges to reduce environmental impact, and share our learning. 

The events are aligned to target local environmental objectives.


  • Invest and protect our habitats and species
  • Improve air quality
  • Reduce Waste


These are hugely important and significant to the area. Scunthorpe (our starter and home town) is known for it's heavy industry.  

It was previously known as an 'Industrial Garden Town' representing the communities love of green spaces, and the pride held in the town about the many parks, open spaces and home gardens!


So a perfect starting location.

Pairing up with our BIG green plans is our drive to help get people moving more. Now we understand not every challenge we do will be suitable for everyone. this is why you'll see lots of additional activities and partners joining us as part of our main events. so if you fancy a tennis match with the kids during our 10k, or a bike ride out with some friends while our 24 hour cycle take place, then we're all ready for you!

Our motto!


We aren't perfect and we will not achieve everything we set out to do. 

Some green options aren't right or ready right now... and thats ok. We will do what we can, ask your opinion and work on the bits we could do better.


So get a bit fitter, go a bit greener... but trying is key, no one expects you to be perfect.
