Proven on the Course
WaterMonster systems have been successfully deployed at major endurance events, including:
• 2026 ASICS Los Angeles Marathon
Used at 15 of 19 aid stations, eliminating thousands of single-use bottles and reducing transport emissions. The event maintained its Evergreen Status from the Council for Responsible Sport.
• La Jolla Half Marathon (2024–2026)
Repeated annual use of WaterMonster’s Manifold System, helping establish a true cup-free racing culture.
• Sedona Half Marathon (2026)
Featured in a live race-day blog with HydraPak and Amanda Brooks (RunToTheFinish), showcasing real-world performance and athlete flow.
A Better Way to Hydrate
WaterMonster replaces traditional cup-based aid stations with high-capacity, gravity-fed systems:
• Runners use their own reusable cups

• Faster setup, cleaner courses, and simpler logistics
• Scalable for races of any size
The result: a smoother race for athletes and a smarter operation for directors.
