Poland Spring^® Brand Natural Spring Water is proud to be the Official Bottled Water of the 113th Boston Marathon. Having supported various running events from 5Ks to marathons for the past 30 years, Poland Spring knows the importance of keeping runners hydrated, and is excited to do its part along Boston's 26.2-mile course.

Poland Spring is also taking steps to keep the environment healthy. At the 2009 Boston Marathon, runners will be greeted at the start area with samples of the Eco-Shape^® bottle. With up to 30 percent less plastic than the average half-liter beverage bottle, the Eco-Shape bottle is one of the lightest half-liter plastic beverage container currently on store shelves.*

Furthermore, Poland Spring manages its bottling facilities and water resources with an eye toward long-term sustainability. The brand invests significantly in helping to protect the environment around its water supplies and, in partnership with The Nature Conservancy, has conserved hundreds of thousands of acres of valuable natural resources.

*Based on an August 2008 national audit of half-liter plastic bottles across the tea, soda and water categories, the Eco-Shape^® half-liter bottle contains an average of 30% less plastic versus comparable size, leading beverage brands.
