Hydration Where You Need It Most
Staying hydrated is crucial for peak performance, and the Arlington Marathon ensures you’re never far from the support you need. We’ve strategically placed drink stations along the entire marathon route — at every 1.5 miles — so runners can refuel with water, electrolyte drinks, and energizing refreshments. Each station is staffed with enthusiastic volunteers from local schools, nonprofits, and businesses who bring their energy and support to every cup they hand out.
These hydration points are also marked with flags and signage, making them easy to spot from a distance. Whether you’re powering through your first 5K or pushing the limits in the full marathon, hydration will be readily available to help you cross the finish line strong.
Partnered with Arlington’s Health Advocates
We’ve partnered with Arlington Integrative Medical Center, local health food brands, and wellness organizations to stock our drink stations with clean, replenishing options. Expect a mix of cold filtered water, electrolyte-balanced sports drinks, and plant-based hydration boosters — all chosen with runners’ health and endurance in mind.
Additionally, drink stations double as quick recovery stops. Bananas, orange slices, and protein bites will be available at select stations to give participants a balanced boost. Our goal is to ensure runners not only feel energized but also experience the warmth and hospitality that makes Arlington, Texas a true “Dream City.”
Cheers to Community, Health, and Hydration
Each drink station is more than just a refreshment point — it’s a celebration zone. With music, cheering squads, and themed decorations by local community groups, these stations turn your hydration break into a morale booster. It’s one more way Arlington brings together health, diversity, and community spirit.
Arlington’s marathon is more than a run. It’s an experience that flows through every part of the city — and every drop of water you drink. From mile 1 to mile 26.2, we’re here to lift you up, keep you going, and cheer you on.
Hydrate. Celebrate. Elevate.
Because in Arlington, every sip fuels your dream.
