Cupless Race: 

As an organization dedicated to maintaining a clean race and doing our part to keep our trails clean, we are partnering with Sustainable Racing Partner, HydraPak, to make the Rebel Run 5k a cupless race. What does this mean?

Runners will have the option of carrying their own hydration vessels or using a free HydraPak reusable SpeedCup provided at packet pickup or our water station at the finish line. Once you grab a reusable SpeedCup, it's yours to keep for any racing you do in the future!

Please note that there will not be a water station on the 5k course. A water station will be available at the Finish Line Party, ready for refilling your personal water bottles or SpeedCup’s. Please plan to bring your own refillable water bottle to use throughout the event.

All race registrants will receive a one time use 20% sitewide discount to access HydraPak’s run line, which includes vest-compatible soft flasks, handheld bottles, and hydration reservoirs giving you a variety of hydration options for on or after the course. Sign up to get your discount!

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.
