RECYCLING PROGRAM

The first aspect of the 4vita® program concerns the environment.
 
The objective is to make the athletes, the volunteers and spectators understand that if each one of us is careful about where we throw our waste, not only will we preserve or environment but we will also be able to recycle our waste and give them new life for years to come. Of course this system will not just function on its own so we need you to be aware and act in order to transmit this message.
 
These are the different actions which will be put into place:

The waste collection and recycling

The 4vita® team has prepared various solutions in order to recycle all the waste collected on the expo, on the aid stations around the bike and run course and during the price award ceremony (Heroes Night), so try to notice the different messages around the event. The most important for us and the image of large events like this one, are the aid stations. On the bike we have set up big cages to collect all your bottles:

  • One cage will be situated a 100 m before an aid station.
  • One cage will be situated between 300m and 500m after the aid station…
    •  
    Thank you for respecting these zones, if you miss these zones...wait until the next one, or throw you bottle somewhere it can easily be collected. Do not throw your bottles in the nature which we unfortunately see quite often.

    The most problematic waste is wrappers of energy bar…Please keep them with you, in your pockets and throw them out in the transition zone. We can’t compete in an outdoor sport and have such an irresponsible attitude, especially when the weight of a wrapper will have no effect on your performance.

    The eco responsible act

    In order to show your commitment to respect the waste zones during the race, a sticker has been put in your start number package…Put the sticker on the designated area on your bib and become an ambassador of 4vita ®!

    HEALTH PROGRAM

    The second part of the 4vita® program concerns our health.

    The objective will be making everyone understand that doing sports is important but it is essential to do it in good conditions.

    To have a regular medical check up done is essential, to diet correctly and to have an adapted training can help avoiding injuries and benefiting from full physical potential.

    This is why 4vita® is collaboration with WTS in order to propose various initiatives

    Constructions of adapted aid stations

  • Aid station 1 and 2: Solids (bananas and bars) in order to gain enough nutrition for the end of the race. The cooler morning hours and the body's hydration state at this point of the race should permit an effective simulation of the solids.
  • Aid station 3: No bars in order to avoid GI (gastro intestinal) shutdown on the climb towards Laghet. Simple sugars (gels and cola) are recommended in order to complete the last obstacle in the best conditions.
  • Aid station 4: Before the last descent, it is sensible to take in solid nutrition for a last time. Even more so if the weather forecast is bad.

    • Tests and analysis

  • Friday the 4th of September : From 14h to 16h, the athletes can test the physical condition for free with the help of an WTS coach in the 4vita® stand. This will include: a check of your body composition (weight, height, frat percentage…) and a cardio test.
  • Saturday the 5th of September From 16h to 18h, the athletes can test the physical condition for free with the help of an WTS coach in the 4vita® stand. This will include: a check of your body composition (weight, height, frat percentage…) and a cardio test.
  • Sunday the 6th of September : The athletes which have failed their challenge or wish to understand some of the problems which were encountered during the 70.3 are welcome to come meet a WTS coach in the 4vita® stand. These free consultations will take place from 14h until 17h.
