Why are there no disposable cups at the water stations you may ask?
Safety of runners and volunteers:
We want to ensure the safety of all runners and volunteers by removing the urge to chase after a wayward cup into traffic.
Environmentally Sound Practice:
In an average year we would have used over 60,000 cups that cannot be recycled. And littering is just not cool.
Healthier:
Our foot pedal unit allows runners to dispense their own water hands free at 10oz per second and away you go.
We have a great option if you forgot your own cup:
You can buy a reusable cup for $2 at packet pickup or race day check-in.
