The Best Way to Grab a Cup of Water

Is with your own reusable cup from your own hydration vest.

Here’s Runner’s World is trying to show us how to grab a paper cup at an aid station… and creates a huge amount of waste in the process.

I get it, trail races are running by a different clock and in road races “every second counts” but we still run on the same planet and it would be great if road races would adopt our ‘cupless policy’ and figure out how to offer hydration to hundreds or thousands of racers without creating this insane amount of one-time-use paper cup waste.
