HydraPak is the first-ever Official Sustainability Partner of the 2026 Brighton Marathon Weekend! The partnership coincides with the launch of Team Green, a new initiative designed to reduce environmental impact at the Brighton Marathon, the UK’s third-largest marathon, taking place on April 12, 2026.

As part of the partnership, runners who opt into Team Green—a baggage-free option that reduces finish-line transport emissions—will receive a custom-designed  SpeedCup that leverages our redesigned carry loop.

The SpeedCup Advantage:

• • Ultra-Lightweight: Weighing just 10g, it adds zero bulk to a runner’s kit.
    
  • High Capacity: Holds 200ml of liquid for efficient hydration.
    
  • Collapsible Design: Crushable and packable, it can be stashed in a pocket between stations.
    
  • New Carry Loop: Features our redesigned loop for even easier handling at high speeds.

Runners can refill the SpeedCup at on-course water stations and stash it when not in use, helping significantly reduce reliance on single-use cups without compromising hydration.

This is the first time London Marathon Events (LME) has appointed an Official Sustainability Partner for one of its events, reinforcing its commitment to environmentally responsible mass participation races. It also marks HydraPak’s first-ever UK event partnership. Jennifer Krupey, Vice President of Marketing at HydraPak, said, "Carrying your own cup or bottle is a powerful and practical solution for reducing race-day waste. We’re proud to be the inaugural Official Sustainability Partner and excited to help runners experience the benefits of reusable hydration.”

“Innovations like the HydraPak SpeedCup allow us to reduce single-use cups while helping participants stay safely hydrated. We’re delighted to bring HydraPak onboard as part of our journey to eliminating single-use plastic at our events.”

HydraPak will be active throughout Brighton Marathon Weekend, with product showcases, giveaways, and participant engagement at Brighton Miles and the Beach Village Festival. Additional athlete-led experiences and community runs will be announced closer to race weekend.
