41 The Nike Melbourne Marathon Festival is committed to developing and improving practices and considerations toward a more sustainable festival. As Australia’s premier marathon, our goal is to inspire people to keep moving, to promote health and wellbeing and contribute to the sustainable future of our planet, to therefore ensure we will have a platform for our event for future generations to enjoy. We must continue to consider our small role to ensure that future generations have access to clean fresh air, an abundance of open green spaces and a thriving world to run in.
