Reducing Race Day Waste

The Bank of America Chicago 13.1 and the Bank of America Chicago Marathon are piloting two structured refill stations on course. In partnership with Culligan, they are giving runners access to high-quality filtered water. This initiative is designed to reduce waste, encouraging runners to refill on course using their own bottles, flasks, or cups.

Why Carry Your Own Matters

At large races around the world, the scene is the same: paper cups scattered across the course, volunteers rushing to keep up and runners piling into crowded aid stations. HydraPak imagines a different future for racing—one where every athlete carries their own hydration and we reduce race waste together.

REFILL WITH FILTERED CULLIGAN WATER

Culligan is proud to sustainably deliver high‑quality filtered water when it matters most. Culligan filtered water refill stations allow runners to hydrate responsibly with cleaner, safer, better‑tasting water while reducing reliance on single‑use waste. Go further with certified Culligan filtration, so you can trust every sip — race day and every day.
