Why partner with
Zippy Cup?

Whether you're organizing a cupless race, leading a marathon training team, or managing aid stations for thousands of runners, Zippy Cup helps you create a more sustainable race experience — without sacrificing convenience.

Littered plastic cups and water bottles on a wet street, with runners participating in a marathon behind them during the daytime.

Make your event greener
Going cupless has never been easier. Reduce thousands of disposable cups at every aid station — and give your runners a reusable solution they'll actually use.

7 inches of branded real estate that finishes every race — and goes home with every runner.

Simplify logistics for you and your runners
Fewer disposable cups at every aid station means easier setup, faster volunteer turnaround, less cleanup, and lower waste management costs — whether you're running a 5K or a full cupless race.

Zero gear requirements for runners
No special vests, hydration packs, or modified shorts needed. Clips to any waistband they're already wearing.

Enhance the runner experience
Give participants a premium, reusable item they'll actually use—long after race day.
