2 Parks Trail Race has been “cupless" since 2024! 

Move It Fitness is committed to being conscious of the impact our events have on the environment. With this in mind we will be reducing our waste by hosting a “cupless” event. This is how it will work:

 

1. 2 Parks athletes will be given 1 HydraPak cup at check-in (this is included with your registration)

 

2. Carry the cup with you to reuse it at the aid stations. You can also use your own hydration vessel to refill at the aid stations. The cup is yours to keep and use at future events. *Cups are dishwasher safe (YAY!)

 

3. If you would like to check out additional hydration options to use during training or at future events, HydraPak has been designing and producing flexible performance hydration systems since 2001. Whether you’re a first-time runner or an ultra endurance athlete, HydraPak’s line of performance hydration products are ideal for both training and race day. We'll be offering additional cups for sale for $5 (registration includes 1 cup)
