Cupless-race bottles
Sustainability-minded races going cupless hand every runner a branded bottle at packet pickup — the bottle is the aid-station plan.
CUSTOM RACE GEAR
Custom Race Water Bottles
Squeeze and sport bottles for aid stations, goodie bags, and training season.
Bottles work three jobs: aid-station handouts, goodie-bag filler that people actually want, and training gear that carries your race logo on every run between now and next year’s registration. A 24 oz squeeze bottle costs less than most disposable-cup budgets per participant.
The classic sport squeeze is the volume pick. Insulated steel bottles are the premium tier for award alternatives, volunteer gifts, and VIP bags.

VOLUME PRICING
Water Bottles pricing
Per-unit pricing for our standard spec. Proofs and two edit rounds are included at every tier.
| Quantity | Price per unit |
|---|---|
| 100–249 | $2.85 |
| 250–499 | $2.45 |
| 500–999 | $2.10 |
| 1,000+ | $1.85 |
Options beyond the standard spec are itemized in your quote — and we beat any written competitor quote by up to 10%.
Pricing is by size, not by sport: a 3-inch medal runs about $2.50 each at 100 units for any race — larger sizes slightly more, smaller sizes less, and same-size medals start at the same price. Design and proofs are quoted with your order. New designs carry a one-time mold fee (generally around $100, depending on size); reorders of the same design never pay it again. Specialty builds — spinners, moving parts, oversized cutouts — can add to the per-medal cost.
DESIGN IDEAS
How races use custom water bottles
Training-plan wraps
Print a couch-to-5K or marathon pacing chart on the wrap. The bottle becomes a coach.
Team and club orders
Running clubs re-order bottles year-round — a club colorway with name drops is an easy add-on run.
Insulated award tiers
Engraved steel bottles make modern age-group awards — useful beats another small trophy.
Water Bottles questions
What bottle should a cupless race order?
The 24 oz squeeze at $1.85–$2.85 per unit by quantity. It fills fast at aid stations, fits standard bike cages, and survives being dropped at 8-minute pace.
Can bottles be pre-filled or kitted?
We ship bottles nested and poly-bagged, ready for your goodie-bag line. We do not pre-fill liquids, but caps ship installed so kitting is one motion.
Do insulated bottles take the same artwork?
Yes — the same art adapts across squeeze and steel formats; steel adds laser engraving as an option, which looks sharp for awards.
