iPRO are proud to announce their support as Official Hydration Partner for the Chelmsford Marathon & Half Marathon, taking place on the 17th of October. The partnership is underlined by the #RunWithiPRO campaign, an initiative recently launched by iPRO to support race event organisers whose businesses faced severe impact during the pandemic.

The partnership will see iPRO Hydrate – Sport Edition distributed at the finish line to rehydrate and aid runners as they begin their post-race recovery process. iPRO Hydrate – Sport Edition is a naturally refreshing isotonic drink bursting with fruity flavour and nutritional goodness. Available in four thirst-quenching flavours (Mango, Orange and Pineapple, Citrus Blend, and Berry Mix), the iPRO Hydrate – Sport Edition range is low-sugar and caffeine-free with a powerhouse of vitamins and minerals to support wellbeing.

The Chelmsford Marathon & Half Marathon is a major fundraising event for Havens Hospices, a charity company providing palliative nursing and supportive care to adults, young people, and children living with complex or incurable conditions across Essex. Following the cancellation of the 2020 edition due to the pandemic, this month’s event will carry even more importance. The event anticipates over 1,000 participants, which will mark the race as one of the biggest in the Essex event calendar.

iPRO Global Partnerships Manager, Lucy Darrall, commented on the announcement:

“We’re delighted to be supporting such a wonderful event with a brilliant cause behind it. The postponement of running events had a devastating impact on charities, and this reinforces the mission of #RunWithiPRO as we continue to support running event companies as they get back on their feet. We look forward to keeping all the runners refreshed and rehydrated as they reach the finish line.”

The Chelmsford Marathon is a 26.2-mile single lap course on-road and tarmac paths starting in the city centre and finishing in Central Park. Runners will follow a scenic rural route, heading out through the city and the nearby countryside, concluding with a stunning avenue of autumn trees in Central Park to the finish line.

Thom Sands, Marketing Assistant, also commented:

"We are delighted to have iPRO on board to provide quality hydration at one of our biggest events of the year. We understand the importance of hydration and fluid replenishment, and iPRO has provided us with the means to ensure that we give our runners an excellent experience from start to finish.”

Runners can get ahead of the race with a 24-bottle case of iPRO Hydrate – Sport Edition for less than £1 a bottle at iPRO.Direct, with FREE delivery straight to your doorstep!
