“The Austin Marathon was the first 26.2 mile race that I ever did. It changed my life. It sparked my love for running and provided me with a creative outlet that has helped me grow personally and professionally. What I love even more than running marathons is running marathons through the streets of Austin, Texas. This city is special to me. It’s where we built our business and where I’ve called home after leaving Pennsylvania to be stationed at Fort Hood in 2014. I couldn’t be more proud to partner with the Austin Marathon and provide this city with the fuel to GO ONE MORE®”, said Nick Bare, BPN Founder and CEO.
Throughout the year BPN and the Ascension Seton Austin Marathon, Half Marathon, and 5K will work together in lead up events and community outreach as both companies strive to keep runners on track to take on event day at their best.
