Highlights• We examine the carbon footprint of travel for small-scale varsity sports events.• We apply an LCA-based carbon footprint approach to refine methodology for events.• Car occupancy rates for event spectators were higher than industry average rates.• 4% of out-of-town spectators constituted 52% of total spectator footprint.• Targeting long distance travel is the most effective way to reduce GHG emissions.
