"Thanks for the virtual goodie bag. Having participated in numerous half-marathons, I am always aware of how much waste is generated from the plastic bags and paper handouts.  This it a much better approach!"

"Kudos to the whole team! This is brilliant and really well done. It’s much more helpful to be able to link directly out to a race you want to sign up than it is to hold onto a rack brochure and try to remember to check it out later. And, from a sponsor’s standpoint, I think it’s actually more likely people will see your information as they scroll through the “virtual bag.” We’re less likely to just huck the whole bunch of paper into the trash because you don’t want to wade through it. I love that Big Sur is leading the way on this environmentally-friendly front.  Thank you!"

"Great idea! I do love to see all the flyers, etc, but the paper often just gets thrown away. Actual samples in a goody bag are super fun, but it's a great idea to cut back on paper! :)"

"This is awesome! A long time overdue, but I'm glad that you have it. I end up trashing most of what is in the bag only because it is a pain to carry it. But having it virtually, I am much more likely to look at it all and use it. THANK YOU!!"

"Awesome, Awesome, Awesome! Good for you guys for making a BIG change! I hope all the races follow in step with you. I always feel so guilty carrying out a bag of paper, especially after doing something so healthy for me!  Congratulations for taking a big stride in the "green" direction :)"
