Being named after the amazing orca whale, we have always had the environment in mind since we started. When wildfires started becoming a regular occurrence in Washington state and threatened our races, we felt a very direct impact on our business from climate change. Since then, we have improved and strengthened our commitment to sustainability, becoming the first carbon neutral running races in Washington state in 2022. We are continuing that commitment for the future by joining 1% For the Planet and becoming Climate Neutral Certified in 2023.
