GALATZÓ TRAIL AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVES
The celebration of GALATZÓ TRAIL is very important for the municipality of Calvià. It serves to position the area as an ideal place to train and compete at any time of the year (positioning) and generates economic impact. GALATZÓ TRAIL must also contribute to sustainable development, so the organisation of the event works to meet the Sustainable Development Goals in GALATZÓ TRAIL, and therefore incorporates a set of actions aimed at: protecting the environment, favouring groups in need, supporting local products and business fabric, promoting sustainable mobility, using biodegradable products, reducing the use of plastic and paper at the event, etc.
In this section of the website you can find the main actions we carry out in each field
1. SOCIAL DIMENSION
Community development and assistance
DONATION TO DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS
We allocate 3% of the actual cost of the project to help NGO or associations that work with groups with special needs in the community.
DONATION OF FOOD TO FOOD BANKS
All the food (fruit, vegetables, meat…) that is not consumed during the event and can be donated is sent to organisations that organize food banks.
BENEFITS FOR GROUPS
We offer advantages to encourage the participation of various groups, among others, people over 65 years of age, people with a disability equal to or greater than 33%.
COLLABORATION WITH THE LOCAL SPORTS ASSOCIATION NETWORK
We incorporate clubs and sports entities of the municipality in the management of the event and in the volunteering.
SUPPORT FOR EMPLOYMENT PROGRAMMES
We collaborate with local employment development programmes for mountain services.
PROMOTION OF SPORT
The event contributes to the promotion of outdoor sports in the community. Year after year, the number of residents who set their sights on this event is increasing.
2. LOCAL DIMENSION
product and local business fabric
LOCAL, SEASONAL, KM 0 PRODUCT
We use local, seasonal and KM 0 products (fruit, vegetables,…).
WE PROMOTE GASTRONOMY AND LOCAL PRODUCT
We propose a finish line refreshment based on typical Mallorcan dishes and products (coca de verdures, panades, cocarrois, botifarró, longaniza sausage…).
WE WORK WITH LOCAL SUPPLIERS
We rely on local companies to provide the essential services of the event: timing, provision of refreshments, kitchen, rental and assembly of infrastructures, transport, graphic design….
WE MAKE THE AREA MORE DYNAMIC
We promote the revitalisation of local commerce and restaurants with the event. The public and participants travel to the territory and economic activity is generated in the area.
OWN CULTURE
We have local entertainment groups that promote our own culture (dimonis, batucadas…).
3. SUSTAINABLE DIMENSION
Recycling, reuse, biodegradable materials..
ELIMINATION OF SINGLE-USE PACKAGING
We eliminate the use of single-use packaging (biodegradable or not) and opt for sustainable solutions.
REDUCING THE USE OF PLASTICS
We reduce the use of plastic in race materials (t-shirt wrapping, medals, trophies…).
WE REDUCE THE USE OF PAPER
We reduce the use of paper in our communications. We do not produce posters or flyers advertising the event. We only use paper for race bibs, race envelopes and traffic information.
REUSE OF MATERIALS
We recycle race materials (bags, tanks, branding), both in this event and in other events we produce.
SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY
We promote sustainable mobility in order to avoid traffic and car saturation in the race area. We provide participants with TRANSFERS from Calvià and Peguera to the event area. We limit the use of motor vehicles inside the mountain during the race to those necessary (emergencies and race security).
MEDALS, T-SHIRTS, BIODEGRADABLE BAGS
We produce the key elements of the event (medals, t-shirts, race bags…) with biodegradable materials, working with companies that are committed to sustainability not only in the product but also in the process of creating the articles.
4. DISSEMINATION AND TECHNOLOGICAL DIMENSION
communication, evidence management
ODS DISCLOSURE
We inform participants about the development of the SDGs in this race. The race guides, websites and other media (newsletters, social networks) include the mandatory regulations, decalogues for mountain sports, recommendations and other information in order to ensure that the event has as little impact as possible on the territory.
DIGITALISED MANAGEMENT
We have all the race management information (timing, race tracking, procedures) on the web, applications and newsletters. Therefore, it is not necessary to use paper to access results, event receipts, participation certificates, etc. 3.- We have digital measurement systems (surveys, app and web usage, ratings on social networks and marketing platforms) that help us to assess the event at any point in the process.
DIGITAL MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS
We have digital measurement systems (surveys, app and web usage, social media reviews and marketing platforms) that help us to evaluate the event at any point in the process.
PLANNING APPS
