Vision:2025 has the headline goal of reducing annual outdoor festival related greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2025 in the UK. Measuring waste, sharing good practice, a ruthless focus on waste reduction and shifting power generation to renewable sources are the headlines of the Vision:2025 pledge.

Today, Ourea Events is excited to launch an official sustainability strategy. We believe that we all have a responsibility to do what we can to reduce our impact on the environment. 

This week we have had to make some very difficult decisions and cancel the SILVA Great Lakeland 3Day, the Cape Wrath Ultra, and the Scottish Mountain Marathon that were all due to take place in May and June 2020.

Salomon Skyline Scotland® 2018 has won ‘Best Sporting Event’ at the 2019/20 Scottish Thistle Awards National Final. The National Final took place on March 5th 2020 at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre, where 470 people gathered to see 18 individuals, businesses and events honoured for their contribution to the tourism sector.

Today Ourea Events confirmed that 2020 will be the final year they organise Marmot Dark Mountains™, the Scottish Mountain Marathon™, and the ROC Mountain Marathon™.

Salomon Skyline Scotland® has been nominated in the Best Sporting Event category at the 2020 Scottish Thistle Awards. Other nominated events include Melrose Sevens and the Aberlour Highland Games.

Ourea Events has recently signed the Respect Charter, part of a new campaign launched by The National Outdoor Events Association (NOEA) to encourage better treatment of staff, volunteers and attendees of events. The aim is for events businesses to demonstrate a zero-tolerance approach to harassment of any kind while at an event.
