iPRO Announce Partnership with Shrewsbury Half Marathon 2021

iPRO are proud to announce their partnership with Shrewsbury Half Marathon 2021 as Official Hydration Partner.

After postponing the event in 2020, runners will rejoice as they lace up and prepare ahead of October the 10th. The stunningly scenic Shrewsbury Half Marathon is back where participants will run along the beautiful Shropshire countryside starting and finishing at the 53-acre Shropshire County Showground.

Lack of running events like Shrewsbury Half Marathon became a loss for the running community during the pandemic, as runners stayed away from partaking in wellness-led events like these. Runkeeper reported a 98% surge in the number of people in the UK heading out for a weekly run during the pandemic, with 78% of runners citing being active made them feel ‘saner and in control’.

Those getting involved in this year’s Shrewsbury Half Marathon will be joining runners of all abilities, from running clubs and communities across the UK, who come to soak up the welcoming atmosphere and sense of community. As part of the #RunWithiPRO campaign to support post-pandemic running events, a bottle of iPRO Hydrate – Sport Edition will be waiting for each participant at the finish line to help aid recovery and prevent dehydration.

iPRO Hydrate – Sport Edition is a carbohydrate concentration isotonic drink bursting with vital vitamins and nutritional goodness. Coloured by nature and sweetened from natural sources, iPRO Hydrate – Sport Edition comes in four deliciously thirst-quenching flavours: Mango, Orange and Pineapple, Citrus Blend, and Berry Mix. Moreover, the drinks are rich in 100% Daily Vitamin C and contain immunity-boosting Vitamins B5, B6, B7, and B12.

iPRO are reinforcing their commitment to sustainability by using 100% recyclable product packaging across the iPRO Hydrate – Sport Edition range. Their greatest priority is that each product has the chance to be recycled back into plastic bottles in a closed-loop recycling system. That’s why iPRO recycling bins will be positioned at the finish line to ensure minimum waste at the event.


UKRunChat, Founder and Director Joe Williams, commented:

"We are delighted to be partnering with iPRO and look forward to all participants receiving iPRO Hydrate - Sport Edition at the finish line as well as educational content in the build up to the event."


iPRO Global Partnerships Manager, Lucy Darrall, also commented:

“The return of running events like Shrewsbury Half Marathon is not only good for getting everyone active again, but also good for people’s mental wellbeing which is something we strongly advocate at iPRO. We’re thrilled to partner with such a fantastic event to keep all the runners hydrated at the finish line.”


Participants can get their hands on more iPRO Hydrate – Sport Edition for less than £1 a bottle to stay hydrated while training for the half marathon with FREE delivery by visiting iPRO.Direct.
