Foldable drinking cups: small item, great convenience
More and more races are operating without disposable cups. With your own drinking cup, you are faster, more sustainable, and always prepared—especially during long runs.

These cups often weigh only a few grams and fold up flat. They fit effortlessly in your pocket, cardigan, or even in your hand—you hardly notice you have it with you.
Quick to use (no time wasted)
Unfold, fill, drink, fold up—done. Ideal for aid stations where you want to move on quickly without waiting or searching for cups.
Durable & reusable (less waste)
By using your own cup, you help reduce litter on trails. Good for nature and increasingly the standard at events.
