AUSTIN, TX, June 6, 2024 /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – The Ascension Seton Austin Marathon, Half Marathon and 5K is pleased to announce Bare Performance Nutrition (BPN) as the official on-course hydration and gel provider for the 2025 race. This synergistic partnership will ensure participants receive top-class hydration and energy support throughout the event, enhancing their performance and overall race experience. The Austin Marathon, Half Marathon and 5K is scheduled to take place on February 16, 2025 in downtown Austin, Texas.
BPN, a leading sports nutrition company, will provide high-quality electrolytes at all 22 aid stations along the course, designed to keep runners hydrated and at optimal performance levels. In addition to electrolytes, BPN’s Go Gels will be provided in two designated energy zones to give runners the nutrition they need to reach their race day goals.
“The Austin Marathon was the first 26.2-mile race I ever ran, and it changed my life – it ignited my love of running and gave me a creative outlet that allowed me to grow personally and professionally. There’s nothing I love more than running marathons, but running through the streets of Austin, Texas. This city holds a special place in my heart – it’s where we built our business and it’s a place I’ve called home since leaving Pennsylvania to deploy to Fort Hood in 2014. I couldn’t be proud to partner with the Austin Marathon and help power the city to GO ONE MORE®,” said Nick Baer, Founder and CEO of BPN.
BPN and the Ascension Seton Austin Marathon, Half Marathon and 5K collaborate on preparatory events and community outreach activities throughout the year, with both organizations working to ensure runners are in the best possible condition on event day.

Based in Austin, BPN will add to the special RUN AUSTIN® energy that runners experience on race day.”

On Sunday, runners will race through Austin’s iconic streets, finishing in front of the State Capitol and earning a belt buckle finisher medal. Registration for all distances is open online.
