Water Stops

Hydration

Please consider bringing your own pre-filled water bottle, if possible, to do your bit for the environment. There will be refill points at water stations where you can refill your bottle.

We recommend that you stay hydrated before the race and take little sips often but avoid drinking too much in the hour before the race start.

Massive thanks to the clubs and charities managing our water stops.

All water stops will have a backup of water and paper cups.

Our recyclable paper cups look and feel the same as conventional plastic-coated or PLA-coated cups. The key difference is that these cups are optimised to be recycled back into high-grade paper using conventional paper recycling equipment.

Please empty your bottle before discard in the bins provided at the side of the path. These will be collected for recycling.

Do not drop bottles/cups on the path for participants behind to slip on!

No Litter Zones

To keep the route as clear as possible for the safety of your fellow runners, we will have ‘No Litter’ zones after each water stop.

We ask you to only drop litter in these zones to be considerate and respectful to local residents and businesses.

If you carry your cup/gel wrapper beyond the ‘No Litter’ zone, then please keep hold of it until you either reach the next water stop or a marshal.

Please respect Milton Keynes!
