🇳🇱 #bintheredonethat after movie Voor 2026 werk ik samen met LeChampion als hun duurzaamheidsambassadeur. Onze missie is om hardlopers te inspireren om ervoor te zorgen dat de bekertjes en gels in de prullenbak belanden en niet op het parcours. Of nog beter... in mijn reusachtige beker. Zondag was het de beurt aan de zandvoortcircuitrun ... man, wat een geweldige race. Natuurlijk moest ik mijn coureurs outfit dragen haha. Ik weet niet echt hoe vaak mijn prullenbak wordt gebruikt, totdat ik de video's zie die ik heb gemaakt. Wauw... het lijkt echt tot de verbeelding te spreken. Ik vind het geweldig! Waarom de prullenbakken gebruiken? 1. Voor het milieu 2. Voor de vrijwilligers... wie denk je dat het moet opruimen? 3. Voor de lopers achter je. Laat hen net zo van het parcours genieten als jij! Tot ziens bij de volgende race 🇬🇧 #bintheredonethat aftermovie. For 2026 i am working with Le Champion as their #sustainabilityambassador Our mission is to inspire runners to make sure that the cups and gels go in the bin and not on the course. Or even better.. in my giant cup. Sunday was the turn of Zandvoort Circuitrun .. man, what a great race. Of course I had to wear my racing driver's outfit haha I don't really know how often my bin is being used until i see the videos i have made. Wow.. it really seems to be capturing people's imagination. Love it! Why use the bins? 1. For the environment 2. For the volunteers.. who do you think has to clean it up? 3. For the runners behind you. Let them enjoy the course as much as you do! See you at the next race

I went viral! (finally hahah) Welcome to Episode 1 of BEHIND THE POST With this series I want to talk through a specific post I have made. To talk about how it was made, the impact and the full backstory.

Een terugblik op mijn eerste event .. egmond halve marathon .. als sustainability ambassador voor Le Champion 💚 Ons doel is simpel: verandering inspireren. GENIET VAN DE RACE, ZORG VOOR HET PARCOURS. Dit is de eerste van zeven races waar we ons op gaan focussen. Ja, ik heb veel gels opgeraapt. Ja, ik heb afval op de grond gezien. Maar eerlijk is eerlijk: het was minder dan andere jaren. We gaan de goede kant op. En als we samenwerken, kunnen we het goede voorbeeld geven aan de rest van de wereld. Let’s do this 💪 Volgende stop: @groetuitschoorlrun .

On October 19th, 2025, I ran the 50th anniversary edition of the Amsterdam Marathon — but not just to race. I ran with a mission. This year, I teamed up with the race organisers, Le Champion, for a unique collaboration (#AD) aimed at encouraging runners to dispose of their gels, cups, and sponges responsibly. Instead of dropping waste on the course, runners could use the designated bins — or even the giant paper cup mounted on my back. In this video, I share the full story: • How this collaboration came to life • The race itself • Why 2025 feels like a real turning point for sustainability in running • And why I believe 2026 will be the year when cleanups and sustainability ambassadors become the new standard at races worldwide About Me: I’m Paul Waye, the world’s first truly professional plogger. I’ve been picking up trash while running since September 29th, 2011, and I’ve made it my life’s mission to inspire cleaner, more responsible races; one run at a time. AND TO HAVE FUN DOING IT - when you make sustainability fun, you make it sustainable Follow my journey: Instagram: instagram.com/wayeoflife Mission & story: wayeoflife.com
