What does 'sustainable running' mean? Surely a physical activity that requires very little in terms of equipment and logistics is a relatively sustainable sport? Yes, compared to other athletic disciplines and gear-hungry sports, running is an eco-friendly pursuit. But that doesn't mean we can ignore the environmental impacts it has. Both as runners and product innovators, we must continue to assess what it means to run sustainably.

Firstly, it is important to recognise that most other sports are beginning to address the issue of sustainability. Secondly, we do not believe it is our place to judge these efforts, or even the efforts of our fellow runners, athletic clubs and running gear brands. We simply want to focus on the way we can make a difference by creating the best sustainable running products by Overhill. Hopefully other brands will follow suit.
