Our commitment to sustainability

At Padova Water Marathon, we believe that sport and respect for the environment must go hand in hand. For this reason, we have adopted a series of concrete initiatives to make our event increasingly sustainable. Discover how we contribute to the protection of our river ecosystem.

1. 1. Riverbank Clean-Up – April 19
      On Saturday, April 19, we will organize a special training day dedicated to cleaning the riverbanks. Athletes and canoe enthusiasts will not only train but also actively contribute to environmental protection by collecting waste along the shores. A small gesture that makes a big difference for our territory.

1. 1. Sustainable Choices for the Event
      In organizing the Padova Water Marathon, we adopt eco-friendly solutions to reduce environmental impact. From the use of recyclable and compostable materials for event setups, to the reduction of single-use plastic, and the guidelines provided to participants to encourage environmentally responsible behavior. Every detail matters in making our event greener.

1. 1. Urban Ecosystem Seminar – March 22
      On Friday, March 22, at Canottieri Padova, we will host a seminar dedicated to the urban ecosystem of Padua’s canals. It will be an opportunity to deepen knowledge of our river environment and raise awareness about the importance of its protection. We look forward to seeing many of you there.

1. 1. Ri-Pagaia Project: Sustainable Canoes
      We are proud to support the Ri-Pagaia project developed by FICK, an initiative that promotes social and environmental sustainability through the use of canoes made with a percentage of recycled plastic. This project represents an important step forward toward a more conscious and environmentally responsible sport.
