Big-scale events like marathons often involve high resource use and a considerable amount of waste. However, with increasing awareness of the need to protect our environment, more efforts are being taken to reduce the impact of such events on planet Earth.

The 15th Kuala Lumpur Standard Chartered Marathon (KLSCM), organised by Dirigo Events, is one such example.
